Ten advantages of immigrating to the Netherlands
1. Loose immigration policy: The immigration policy of the Netherlands is one of the most relaxed countries in the EU at present. With the immigration saturation of Canada, Australia and other traditional immigrant countries and the limitations of economic development, the stable political environment and rising economic strength of the European Union have gradually shown its unique advantages in immigrating to the Netherlands. It is extremely wise to choose the Netherlands, the central country of immigration to the European Union. 2. Good career development prospects: As we all know, the central geographical position of the Netherlands in the EU and the port of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe, make the trade business a dominant industry in the Netherlands, and its distribution network can cover the whole EU and Eastern Europe. The political proximity between the European Union and the government of China has led to the rapid expansion of their economic and trade volume, and while emigrating to the Netherlands, business opportunities can also bring you unlimited potential.
3. Good language environment: The Netherlands has a high English penetration rate among non-English-speaking countries in Western Europe. About 95% of Dutch people can speak English, and English is their first foreign language. A good English environment makes you feel strange in your life and work. In addition, the children of the main applicant can receive education in more than four languages at the same time. In China, a person who can master English can have a good job and income, but in European countries, especially the Netherlands, it is normal to know several foreign languages. Many Dutch people can switch between Dutch, English, German, French and even Latin at will.
4. Low cost of living: thanks to its advantages as a European "vegetable garden", although the living standard in the Netherlands is high, the cost is one of the lowest in Europe; Generally, the rent of a family is about 500 euros per month, and the monthly expenditure on food is generally lower than per person 100 euros.
5. Allow family members to work legally: After emigrating to the Netherlands, family members can also work legally.
6. Travel around the world at will: immigrate to the Netherlands, and 26 EU countries can visit at will.
7. Visa-free access to Schengen countries: With a Dutch ID card, you can enter Schengen countries without a visa. After being naturalized in the Netherlands, you can enter most countries in the world visa-free with a Dutch passport (second only to the United States and Germany, the number of visa-free entry ranks third in the world).
8. Good education and welfare: The Dutch government provides a lot of cash and transportation subsidies for your children's study. The Dutch government's total investment in education accounts for about 20% of the national budget. An ordinary China student needs at least 400,000-600,000 RMB to study in the Netherlands and other western developed countries for four years. However, going to college after emigrating to the Netherlands can not only save your family the expensive cost of studying abroad, but also provide your children with a high subsidy of 6,000 euros per year (including public transportation subsidies).
9. No immigration supervisor: One advantage of immigrating to the Netherlands is that applicants can continue to focus on domestic business without having to sit in the "immigration supervisor" for many years. Dutch law does not stipulate whether you must stay in the Netherlands, but only emphasizes that as the manager of the Dutch subsidiary, the Netherlands should be the main place of residence and work. In other words, in the five years before you get permanent residence or naturalization, you can freely travel between China and Europe, and freely plan your stay in Europe and China according to the actual situation.
10. Other benefits: if you choose to start a business in the Netherlands, you can close the company after permanent residence/naturalization, and you can get high unemployment insurance for 2-3 years without paying any taxes (up to 70%-90% of your original salary); After retirement, you can unconditionally receive a pension of about 1 1,000 euros/month.
Chapter II Environment of Investment Immigrants in the Netherlands
1, a highly developed trading system
The Netherlands is one of the earliest countries in the world to conduct trade. As early as 1600, Dutch merchant ships were famous all over the world. Even though the Dutch trade is not as strong as before, it is still one of the most important trading countries in the world. Many world goods are transshipped through Holland. For example, in the actual import and export ranking of goods of 20 18, the Netherlands ranks fifth in the world.
Thanks to the highly developed trading system, many Dutch enterprises are now facing the global market, and half of the Dutch economy depends on trade, and the total export products and services account for about 55% of GDP. Therefore, although the Dutch have a small land area, they do business all over the world, so it is not surprising that many enterprises can be born.
2. Developed financial system
The ability of Dutch enterprises to go abroad is closely related to the developed financial environment in the Netherlands. At present, the Dutch financial and insurance industry is also world-renowned. For example, ABN Amro, ING, Rabobank and ABC are among the 25 banks in the world, and AEGON Insurance Company is the third largest insurance company in the world. The businesses of these Dutch financial institutions spread all over the world, providing very favorable support for Dutch enterprises to expand the global market.
3, the development of the colony, the industrialization time is relatively early, and the industrial base is strong.
Since16th century, the Netherlands has established many colonies around the world with its powerful merchant ships and accumulated a lot of wealth. With this wealth, the Netherlands can strongly recommend the industrialization of the Netherlands, so the Dutch industry developed very early. Many economists in the farming era, the Netherlands has produced many advanced technologies, such as artillery. Therefore, the Netherlands can achieve today's achievements without their solid industrial base and trade base.
Article 3 Medical and housing benefits for Dutch immigrants
The Netherlands is the country with the most complicated and meticulous welfare in the world. Many Asians are willing to settle in the Netherlands, not only to enjoy the good living environment in the Netherlands, but also to take a fancy to the benefits brought by the unique social welfare system in the Netherlands.
1, medical
The Netherlands implements universal health care, and maternal care before, after and after childbirth is free. There is also domestic help for 7 days and 5 hours a day after delivery. Every four months, the social insurance bank "quietly" transfers 665 euros into the personal account, which is marked as "child welfare subsidy" below until the child 18 years old.
At present, the minimum medical insurance in the Netherlands is 77 euros/month, and children can follow their parents for insurance without extra payment. The medical insurance purchased in the Netherlands is global medical insurance, and all medical expenses incurred in China can be reimbursed in the Netherlands.
2. House
If you buy a house in cash, you can buy a house after 2-3 months of immigration to the Netherlands. If you want to use a bank loan, you need to go through all the formalities after 6-8 months (get a personal tax number and get a 30% tax reduction). We all recommend customers to use the latter method, because they can borrow about 65,438+05-400,000 euros from the bank. The annual interest rate is between 4.5% and 5%, and you can get a government tax rebate of about 200-250 euros every month. If you pay in one lump sum, there is no tax refund, because the Dutch tax bureau will think that you are rich and do not need government tax refund subsidies.
For the Dutch housing loan, the down payment for domestic people is zero, 65,438+00% for foreigners (including new immigrants with Dutch ID, depending on the housing situation and banks), and the housing transaction cost accounts for about 65,438+00%.
