Dutch Government Suspends New Limits on Business Visitors Pending Legislative Change
January 15, 2014
The suspension will allow the government to draft new legislation to remove the inadvertent limitation.
The suspension does not affect the government’s recent broadening of the activities permitted during a business visit to include receiving training on the use of goods manufactured in the Netherlands or services to be performed in the Netherlands.
Fragomen closely monitors policy changes in the Netherlands and will send updates when the amended legislation becomes available.
What This Means for Employers
The suspension of the inadvertent limitation on stay for business travelers will come as a relief to the business community, which had been concerned that the limitation would hamper business development in the Netherlands.
