Student Consultation
Consultation for students on requirements, eligibility, and plan for your Dutch residency.
Service Description
Not sure what to do after your studies in the Netherlands? This consultation is designed specifically for international students who want to stay and build their future here. Get clear, practical, and personalized advice on the best legal pathways available to you after graduation. During this 1:1 online session, we look at your situation in detail — your nationality, current residence permit, degree, career plans, and timeline. Based on this, we guide you through the most relevant options, such as the Zoekjaar (orientation year), the Highly Skilled Migrant (HSM) visa, and the EU Blue Card. You’ll understand what each route requires, how they differ, and which option actually makes sense for you — not just in theory, but in practice. What you’ll get from the session: *A clear overview of your post-study residence options *Simple explanation of key requirements (salary thresholds, sponsorship, degree criteria, timing) *Guidance on how to transition from student visa to work-based permits *Insights into how employer sponsorship works — and what to look for when applying for jobs *A personalized timeline (what to do before graduation, immediately after, and later) *Practical advice on documents and preparation *Common mistakes students make — and how to avoid them *A step-by-step strategy tailored to your situation By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear action plan, realistic expectations, and confidence about your next steps in the Netherlands.
