Because of this, you cannot apply for a new residence permit. You can still extend a current residence permit. Do you want to find out more about the requirements and process?

Investing in the Netherlands
You wish to live and invest in the Netherlands. You need a residence permit for this.
Requirements
- You meet the general requirements that apply to everyone.
- You invest a minimum amount of €1,250,000 in a innovative company that is based in the Netherlands.

Investing in real estate for private occupation is excluded.
