Key Requirements in the Netherlands

To qualify under the Ankara Agreement, applicants must meet several criteria:

  • You must be a Turkish national
  • You must establish a genuine business in the Netherlands
  • Your business must be economically viable
  • You must demonstrate sufficient income to support yourself
  • You must register with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK)
