The IND has confirmed that the 2016 Highly Skilled Migrant salary thresholds will apply to all applications for new long term permits or extensions that start on or after 1 January 2016 and which have been filed on or after the date (15 December 2015) that the Dutch government published the exact salary thresholds.
