About Netherlands Citizenship and Residency
The Netherlands offers a Residency Permit in the country for foreign investors willing to put a minimum of 1.25 million Euros in a Dutch business, invest in the economy and create jobs. The permit is good for three years. However, the Netherlands relies on a points-based system to judge an investment’s value. The Netherlands does not have a citizenship-by-investment program, but after five uninterrupted years of permanent residency applicants can apply for Dutch citizenship. Applicants must prove integration into society; such as speaking Dutch, and renounce their original nationality.
