The residence permit for a highly skilled migrant is applied for within 3 years of the graduation date or date of the doctoral defence ceremony. Or it is applied for within 3 years of the date on which the residence permit for research expired.
- The highly skilled migrant has never had a residence permit for an orientation year for highly educated persons, but does meet the requirements for that residence purpose. For example because the highly skilled migrant has graduated, obtained a doctoral degree or has done research. The application for the residence permit for a highly skilled migrant must be submitted within 3 years of the graduation date or date of the doctoral defence ceremony. Or it must be submitted within 3 years of the date on which the residence permit for research expired.

The IND counts the reimbursem*nts of expenses and fixed allowances (such as a thirteenth month) in the salary criterion. For this the following conditions apply:
- The reimbursem*nts and allowances are in the contract.
- The employer transfers the reimbursem*nts and allowances to a bank account in name of the highly skilled migrant or holder of the European blue card.
- The employer transfers the reimbursem*nt and allowances each month. This means that the employer pays the thirteenth month monthly in 12 equal amounts.
The following pay elements are not included in the salary criterion:
- Vacation allowance.
- The value of payment made in kind.
- Uncertain, non-regular pay elements (for example overtime allowances, tips and payments from funds).
