Work in Netherlands non-EU
We have multiple Automotive clients in Netherlands who have steady demand for experienced and professional engineers.
We will shortest successful candidates and present them to our automotive clients in Netherlands. Successful candidates that get a job offer from the client will then have to be employed by our outsourcing partner, so we can legally place you on the client's site for terms of the contract.
Our local partner - a European professional employer organisation and compliance specialist that will become your official employer and will look after your salary payments and taxes.
After you receive a job offer from the client, we will put you in contact with our partner so you can sign the employment agreement with them and apply for a Work Permit.
You will be employed by our local partner but work for a client - the one that gave you a job offer.
Benefits of working in Netherlands
Our contracts are normally long-term starting from 12+ months, which will be renewed every 6 months following the Purchase Order pattern. This is a good steppingstone and a gate way for Non-European Candidates to start a career in Europe and progress to a European citizenship. This of course is subject to your compliance with immigration rules, and we of course will help you and mentor you through the process if that is your goal.
The good thing about the Netherlands is that you will be able to bring your wife and family, as you will get a good salary allowing you to provide good standards of living for your family.
Work Permit Process for Non-EU
Non-EU candidates may find it difficult to obtain a work visa for Europe. We work with a stablished local partner that has a solid reputation and relationships with local authorities across Europe, enabling visa sponsoring in Netherlands.
Our partner can apply for a visa for those coming from outside the EU. We have a fast-track process with the Dutch immigration service (IND) and can get a processed visa back in approx. 4 weeks.
In order to meet Labour Law requirements and obtain a Work Permit you will be employed by our partner while working on the customer. After we make an agreement with you and you get a job offer from the customer, we will put you in contact with our partner to sign an employment contact with them and apply for a Work Permit.
Dutch Citizenship
Expats who have been living in the Netherlands for five years are be eligible to apply for Dutch citizenship (Nederlandse nationaliteit).
There are some exceptions to the five-year residence requirement for naturalisation. You do not need to have lived in the Netherlands for a continuous five-year period if one of the following applies: you are married to a Dutch citizen and you have been living together continuously for at least three years either in the Netherlands or abroad. This exception is also possible for unmarried partners.
When gaining Dutch citizenship internationals often have to give up their original citizenship(s) (afstand doen) because in many cases the Netherlands does not permit dual nationality. There are, however, a number of exceptions to this rule, where dual citizenship is possible.
Work in Netherlands as an EU
Inter-Consulting Europe (UK) Ltd is registered foreign company in Netherlands with no physical office in Netherlands and no full- time employees. In this case, when Inter-Consulting employees are EU nationals they are paid from UK to Netherlands.
In Netherlands you will have to pay the income tax on all your income received in Netherlands per each calendar year. Taxation in the Netherlands is based on a ‘box system’ whereby each box contains certain income which is taxed against a certain tax rate, with tax brackets, credits, allowances, fixed rates etc. Below you will find the most relevant rates for the current and previous years.
If you live in the Netherlands, you qualify as a resident taxpayer. If you live abroad and receive income from the Netherlands that is taxable in the Netherlands, you qualify as a non-resident taxpayer. In both cases, you will be subject to Dutch income tax.
Consultants are obliged to look after their Income Tax, Insurance and Social costs payments themselves and report proof of payments to Inter-Consulting.
Living in Germany
One of the most populous nations in Europe, Germany is home to roughly 82 million people. The country is a global political and economic leader, as well as a cultural centre. Germany's economy is one of world’s largest, with strong manufacturing, science, technology and trade sectors. A high quality of life makes Germany a desirable destination for many expats and other foreign travellers.
Housing
There are a variety of living options in Germany. On your first weeks before you have found a permanent housing you can book a hotel room for about 90 euros per night. If you are looking for something cheaper you can find a place in hostel for about 20 and 30 euros per night. You can also find a temporary flat (furnished) to rent for about 500 to 1,200 euros per month, depending on its location.
Apartment’s Search
When you begin to look for an apartment in Germany, we recommend you to seek the help of a real estate agent if you are not yet fluent in the German language. Rental agreements may sometimes be difficult to understand, and you may end up paying hidden costs.
If you want to plan your relocation on your own, you will find that most local newspapers — such as the Berliner Zeitung, the FAZ, or the Süddeutsche Zeitung — offer a section on housing in the region, as do websites such as immobilienscout24.de or immowelt.de (both websites in German only).
Flat/House Share
House and flat shares, called “Wohngemeinschaften”, or “WG”, in German, are good alternatives for people who want to save money on the rent. Usually in this kind of shared accommodation, each person has their own private room with the kitchen and bathroom to be shared. Bills including electricity, Internet and phone costs are normally shared too.
Living Costs’ break down:
- Monthly ticket public transport: 77 Euro
- Basic Lunch in Business District: 11 Euro
- Combo Meal in Fast Food Café: 7 Euro
- Basic Dinner for 2 people: 32 Euro
- 2 Movie Tickets: 21 Euro
- Beer in a pub (1 pint): 3,35 Euro
- Gym Membership (1 month): 43 Euro

Opening a Bank Account
Documents required for opening a bank account in Germany:
- Your passport
- Your certificate of residency
- A pay statement from your employer (depending on the account type)
for some banks: your work permit
With these documents you can apply for a current and an EC card with the bank of your choice. Current accounts with some banks do not allow overdrafts. Some banks also require that a minimum amount be deposited each month. Make sure to clarify both of these questions before opening an account.
Healthcare and Insurance
To be an employee in Germany you must get a German Health Insurance, your home country insurance won’t be valid in Germany. About 85% of the German population is insured under the Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung (GKV), the German version of a national health system.
Employed persons making more than €4,687.50 monthly (€56,250 per year) have the option of either remaining in the statutory health insurance plan or taking out private insurance.
The statutory health insurance system includes the following benefits:
- outpatient medical treatment, for example in a physician’s office dental care medication;
- remedies and medical devices inpatient medical treatment, for example in a hospital medically necessary rehabilitation services during pregnancy and childbirth It also compensates persons for loss of income due to illness;
- If you have wife and kids, they can be also covered by your statutory health insurance policy at no extra charge.
Work in Germany non-EU
In Germany, the provision of temporary personnel is strictly regulated by the German Law on Labour Leasing Act (AÜG).
Non-EU Nationals can work in Germany for any company if they are employed by the Agency that hold the AUG License.
According to the Labour Leasing Act, the agency that holds the AUG License can act as an employer and supplies the temporary employees to companies in Germany.
Inter-Consulting has an agreement with an outsourcing partner - a German outsourcing agency that holds the AUG Licence. Via its outsourcing partner Inter-Consulting can employ Non-EU Nationals to work on the site of one of its automotive clients in Germany.
The employment process is quite straightforward. A non-EU consultant that is offered a job by IC will be employed and pay rolled by its outsourcing partner, while will be working for a client in Germany (for example BMW).
Payment process between IC, an outsourcing partner and a client:
- The outsourcing partner employs a consultant on a full payroll basis
- A client signs a contract with the outsourcing partner for the services provided by the consultant to the client
- The client pays the outsourcing partner for the consultant’s services, based on the timesheet provided
- The outsourcing partner deducts Income tax, Pension contribution, Social security from the consultant’s payment
- After the deduction of payments listed in section 4. the remaining amount will be paid to the consultant
- The outsourcing partner pays margin to IC, based on the agreed rate
Employment under AUG License expires in 18 months
Employment period under AUG License is limitied to 18 months, and after that period the consultant will have to decide whether he/she wants to return to home country or continue working in Germany. To continue working in Germany the consultant will have to find a full-time employment with a company that would sponsor him/her with Work Permit, which is quite likely for those who has established themselves well in the country during that 18-months period, which means put efforts to build relationships with the client, prove their value at work and gained at least a basic level of German language.
How Long would a Visa Application Process take?
This depends on the country, and sometimes on the embassy/consulate in the country, where the candidate will be applying. It can take up anywhere from six weeks to two to three months. Please note, that the candidate will also need to book an interview slot before going by the embassy or consulate, which will take an additional amount of time (we’ve had a waiting time for an interview of five months once).
Establish yourself in Germany as a Non-EU National
Coming under AUG License could be an effective solution for Non-EU Nationals who wish to start a career in Germany and establish themselves in Europe long-term. Germany offer good payment rates, living and working conditions, and will offer you a chance to enhance your expertise by working for leading German automotive manufacturers. On top of that, there is a strong and steady demand for experienced automotive engineers in the country, and if you are good at your job you will be getting job offers after 18 - month period and will have opportunities to progress in your career.
Getting Permanent Residence
Most foreign residents can apply for a permanent residence permit – a “settlement permit” (Niederlassungserlaubnis) – after five years. Some people may get it sooner: For example, if you are a non-EU national married to a German citizen you could file your application for a settlement permit after three years. If you have graduated from a German university and hold a temporary residence permit for paid employment, you can even submit your application after two years.
However, you need to fulfil various other conditions: You have to prove some basic knowledge of the German language, Germany’s political system, and German society. Moreover, you need to show that you are able to earn a living and that you have made financial contributions to Germany’s national pension plan for five years. Proof of accommodation is also required.
