After graduation, Chinese students may be eligible for the so-called “search year permit” that allows students to search for a job in the Netherlands. After this year, they have to apply for a new residence permit to continue their stay in the Netherlands. On the basis of a job with an employer the highly skilled migrant program may support a permit, however this does require finding a qualifying employer and meeting certain salary thresholds.
For those who want to start their own business, the recently implemented “Start-up permit” may provide a solution. This permit allows entrepreneurs to start their own business from scratch, provided that the product or service is innovative and certain other requirements are met.
In this workshop, students can learn the ins and outs of this new type of permit, its requirements, the limitations and the possibilities of establishing an innovative start-up. The workshops also includes the basics of writing a good business plan and the specifics of crowdfunding for business support in China.
