The Orientation Year Visa (or Zoekjaar in Dutch) is a residence permit that allows non-EU/EEA graduates from Dutch universities to stay in the Netherlands for up to one year after graduation to search for a job or start a business. This visa offers greater flexibility in terms of the type of work you can do and the income requirements are lower during this period.
To qualify, you must have successfully completed a full-time accredited Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD program at Leiden University. The Educational Immigration Service of the university can guide you through the application process, which you must submit to the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) within three years of your graduation.
Yes, if you find a job that meets the requirements for a highly skilled migrant visa during your orientation year, your employer can sponsor you for a longer-term residence permit. The salary threshold for highly skilled migrants is lower for those under the orientation year scheme, making the transition into the Dutch job market significantly easier for graduates.
