Disclaimer

Last updated: 10 October 2026

Not legal or immigration advice. ClearToNL is an information tool. It does not create a lawyer–client or agent–client relationship, and nothing on this site should be relied on as legal advice for your situation. This also applies to the optional expert profile and CV review.

Not a law firm, not a recognised sponsor. ClearToNL is not a law firm or immigration lawyer and is not an IND-recognised sponsor. We cannot apply for a permit for you.

A criteria match, not a chance of approval. Your result shows how many of the highly skilled migrant criteria your answers meet today. It is not a probability of approval: only the IND decides, on the file your employer submits.

Not affiliated with the IND or the Dutch government. We are an independent private service. Official information and decisions come only from the Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst. Verify every rule and amount at ind.nl.

No job guarantee. We do not recruit, place, refer or guarantee employment, interviews, sponsorship or a permit. Only an IND-recognised employer can sponsor a highly skilled migrant application.

Company, agency and sponsor listings. Where we show recognised sponsors, recruitment agencies or employers, ClearToNL has no affiliation, partnership or referral arrangement with any of them, and receives nothing for listing them. The agency list is a starting point compiled from public sources — it is not vetted, endorsed or ranked by quality. Our copy of the IND public register of recognised sponsors is a point-in-time snapshot, and appearing on it means an organisation is permitted to sponsor, not that it has vacancies, hires internationally, or will sponsor any given candidate. A company missing from our snapshot may still be a recognised sponsor. Always confirm on the official register at ind.nl.

Automated and AI-generated output. Results are produced by automated scoring and AI models, which can be incomplete or wrong. Salary thresholds and rules change at least once a year. Always verify at ind.nl before making any financial, career or relocation decision.

Early-stage service. This is a new product and it will keep improving. We publish what we know honestly, including when the answer is "this route is not open to your profile".
