De expatregeling, ook wel de 30%-regeling, wordt soms gezien als een extra voordeel. Maar waarom bestaat deze regeling eigenlijk?

Wie voor werk naar Nederland komt, krijgt vaak te maken met extra kosten. Denk aan dubbele huisvesting omdat een woning in het land van herkomst wordt aangehouden, of kosten voor het aanvragen van

De expatregeling maakt het voor werkgevers mogelijk om onder voorwaarden een deel van het loon belastingvrij te vergoeden voor extraterritoriale kosten: extra kosten doordat een werknemer tijdelijk buiten het land van herkomst werkt.

Daar komt nog iets bij.

Werkgevers zoeken ook buiten Nederland naar specialistische kennis. De regeling kan helpen om werken in Nederland aantrekkelijker te maken voor internationaal talent.

Het is een tijdelijke regeling met duidelijke voorwaarden. De looptijd is maximaal 5 jaar en niet iedere expat of kennismigrant komt automatisch in aanmerking.

Er wordt onder andere gekeken naar:
🔸 of de werknemer in loondienst is;
🔸 of de werknemer vanuit het buitenland is geworven;
🔸 specifieke deskundigheid en de toepasselijke salarisnorm;
🔸 waar de werknemer vóór de start van het werk woonde;
🔸 een geldige beschikking van de Belastingdienst.

Belangrijk voor werkgevers: een verblijfsvergunning als kennismigrant geeft niet automatisch recht op de expatregeling. Het zijn afzonderlijke regelingen met eigen voorwaarden. Internationaal talent aannemen vraagt daarom om een samenhangende aanpak, van immigratie en fiscale aandachtspunten tot relocatie en onboarding.

In our 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 with Andre Jonker, a Structural Engineering Lead from South Africa, he shares what it is like to live and work in the Netherlands as an international professional.

Read his story: https://allaboutexpats.nl/andre-jonker/

Andre moved to the Netherlands with his wife to further develop his career in the engineering sector. All About Expats supported him throughout the process.

A new country. A different work culture. And building a new life far away from family.

What did Andre find most difficult?

“In the Netherlands, life has been great, but if there is a negative point to all of this, it is missing my family.”

For many highly skilled migrants, this is a familiar feeling. An international move brings many opportunities, but it also means leaving behind the people and places you know.

Andre’s story shows that relocating internationally is not just about work; it is personal too. Missing family can remain a reality, but when the practical foundations in the Netherlands are well organised, there is more space to settle in and build a new life.

This is where employers can play an important role. Helping a highly skilled migrant make a successful start involves more than arranging immigration. It also means helping them feel welcome and giving them the support they need to settle in.

At All About Expats, we support employers and intermediaries throughout the entire process. From immigration and recognised sponsorship to relocation, HR support and practical guidance.

Would you like to bring international talent like Andre to the Netherlands? We’re here to help them get off to a good start.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝘀 🧡

Every day, new people discover and follow All About Expats. We truly appreciate the interest in our content and the many messages we receive.

There is one thing we would like to make clear:
We do not offer jobs or vacancies.

All About Expats is not a recruitment agency or job platform. We do not match international job seekers with employers in the Netherlands.

Our role starts when an employer or intermediary has found international talent and needs support with bringing that professional to the Netherlands and employing them correctly.

We support Dutch employers and intermediaries with services such as:
🔸 Immigration and IND procedures
🔸 Recognised sponsorship
🔸 Employer of Record (EOR)
🔸 Relocation and onboarding
🔸 Back-office support for intermediaries

So, if you are looking for a job in the Netherlands, unfortunately we cannot help you find one. But once you have found an employer, we hope we can help you take the next steps and get started in the Netherlands as smoothly as possible.

Are you an employer or intermediary looking to hire or place international talent in the Netherlands? Then you are in the right place.

And to everyone following us, sharing our content and learning more about working and living in the Netherlands: thank you for being here. 🧡

Collecting documents, following procedures and scheduling appointments. All necessary parts of the process.

But for the employee, there is much more going on at the same time:

• Resigning from their current job in their home country;
• Dealing with visa uncertainty;
• Legalising documents;
• Facing housing rejections;
• Ending a lease or selling their home;
• Packing up their belongings;
• Leaving their home country;
• Saying goodbye to family and friends.

All while planning ahead and depending on processes that are not entirely within their control.

The emotional impact of relocation can easily remain under the radar in a professional setting. Yet it can directly affect how someone arrives and starts their new life and job. An employee may be formally ready for the move while having already spent weeks dealing with uncertainty and stress.

That is why the emotional side of relocation should not be underestimated. Support is not only valuable from a practical perspective; it can also provide stability. Clarity, structure and good preparation can reduce pressure at a time when highly skilled migrants need something to rely on.

From experience, we know that investing in your international employees from the start can contribute to their long-term success and retention.

At All About Expats, we guide international employees not only through the practical process, but also through the uncertainty that comes with relocating. This benefits employers and intermediaries too, because a smoother arrival creates a stronger start.

Behind every relocation process is not just a procedure, but a person moving their entire life.

Would you like to give your international employees a smoother and more supported start in the Netherlands? Feel free to contact us:

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗝𝗶𝗺 👋

Jim works as a consultant at All About Expats, helping employers and intermediaries who want to bring international talent to the Netherlands.

During the initial conversations, it’s often not just about hiring a highly skilled migrant, but about finding the right route to make it happen.

Is the organisation already a recognised sponsor? Is payroll with recognised sponsorship the best solution? Does an application need to be prepared for the IND? And what support is needed with relocation or back-office services? Jim assesses the situation and advises on the available options.

What does he work on every day?
🔸 Advising employers and intermediaries on the right approach;
🔸 Identifying which services best fit their situation;
🔸 Explaining immigration, payroll and recognised sponsorship;
🔸 Carefully handing over new requests to the right team;
🔸 Advising on planning, documentation and next steps;
🔸 Making sure organisations know what is needed before the process begins.

For employers and intermediaries, this first phase is important. The choices made at the beginning often determine how smoothly the rest of the process goes.

Jim looks beyond today’s question and considers what may be needed later in the process. This creates clarity from the very first contact about the approach, available options and next steps.

Many international employees still know the expat scheme as the 30% ruling. But what does it actually mean?

It does not mean that an employee automatically pays 30% less tax. Under certain conditions, an employer may pay up to 30% of an employee’s salary tax-free as compensation for additional costs associated with moving from abroad to the Netherlands for work.

In 2026, the maximum remains 30%. From 2027, it will generally be reduced to 27%. Transitional rules apply to employees who were already using the scheme before 2024.

To qualify, several conditions must be met, including:
🟠 The employee is in paid employment;
🟠 The employee was recruited or assigned from abroad;
🟠 The employee has specific expertise that is scarce or not readily available in the Dutch labour market;
🟠 Approval from the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration is required;
🟠 The employer and employee submit the application jointly.

Good to know:
🔸 The scheme can apply for a maximum of 5 years;
🔸 Not every international employee qualifies;
🔸 Changing employers may affect continuation of the scheme;
🔸 Previous residence or employment in the Netherlands may affect eligibility or duration.

In practice, factors such as recruitment, previous residence in the Netherlands, salary requirements and a change of employer can all affect the application.

In the video, Ana explains where confusion often arises and why it is important to clarify this in advance.

At All About Expats, we support employers, intermediaries and highly skilled migrants with the expat scheme as part of the complete immigration and relocation process.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

In our 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 with Vaibhav Birthare, a Software Tester from India, he shares what convinced him to move to the Netherlands.

Interestingly, it wasn’t just the job.

"She was the one who pushed me to take the step. We didn’t have children yet, so the timing felt right to try something new."

His wife saw the opportunities and encouraged him to take the leap.

International recruitment often focuses on the candidate. But whether a partner feels comfortable with the move can also influence how successfully someone settles in and builds a life in the Netherlands.

That’s why relocation shouldn’t stop with the employee.

At All About Expats, we support employers, highly skilled migrants and their families throughout the process. From immigration and recognised sponsorship to relocation and practical support after arrival.

Because attracting international talent is one thing. Retaining it often starts at home.

International employees don’t always relocate alone. Their home situation often plays a bigger role than you might think. Yet relocation is still often approached as if it only involves the employee.

In practice, the family can have a major impact on how smoothly someone settles in. A partner who is adjusting to a new country. Children who need to start school. Questions about childcare, daily routines and what everyday life in the Netherlands will look like. All of this matters from day one.

For employers and intermediaries, this isn’t a minor detail. Uncertainty or pressure at home can directly affect an employee’s focus, energy and stability at work.

A smooth start in the Netherlands involves more than a contract, a residence permit and arrival. If you want an international employee to settle in and start their new role successfully, their family deserves attention too.

At All About Expats, we support not only the employee but also consider what their family needs. This includes practical guidance and support during their first phase in the Netherlands.

Because the better things are at home, the easier it is to focus and perform at work.

Would you like to better support international employees and their families during their first months in the Netherlands? All About Expats is here to help with personal relocation support:

In our video, we explain how the application process works and why thorough preparation is so important.

At All About Expats, we carefully review all documents in advance to ensure that applications are submitted to the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) accurately and completely. This helps prevent unnecessary delays and enables highly skilled migrants to start working in the Netherlands as quickly as possible.

Thanks to our experience and careful approach, requests for additional information or rejections are rare. If the IND does require additional information, we can respond quickly as a recognised sponsor and provide the necessary documentation where required.

With years of experience, up-to-date knowledge of IND requirements and close attention to developments in Dutch immigration law, we know what to look out for throughout the application process.
