The Dutch Startup Visa is a unique opportunity for non-EU entrepreneurs to build and launch innovative businesses in the Netherlands. This one-year residence permit is designed to attract fresh ideas and ambitious founders from around the world. To qualify, applicants must present a well-structured business plan, demonstrate innovation, and partner with a recognized facilitator—an experienced mentor or startup accelerator approved by the Dutch government.
Facilitators play a key role by offering guidance, support, and access to valuable networks within the Dutch startup ecosystem. Entrepreneurs must also show they have sufficient funds to support themselves throughout the year.
