After the initial stay back period of nine months, what are the next steps in UK/Netherlands?
After the initial stay-back period of nine months, you may be able to extend your stay by securing a job offer that meets the country's visa requirements.
- If you find qualifying employment: You can apply for a work visa, such as the Skilled Worker Visa (UK) or Highly Skilled Migrant Visa (Netherlands), which allows you to remain and work long-term.
- If you do not secure a job: Your stay-back period will end, and you must leave the country unless you qualify for another visa category.
Visa rules and eligibility are subject to change.
