Dutch startup visa

What is the Start-up visa? And can I apply for it?

The Netherlands has a start-up program for non-EU entrepreneurs who intend to start an innovative business in The Netherlands.

The facilitator plays an important part, but the entrepreneur is the one who takes an active role in the development of the business. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) grants the status of facilitator based on certain criteria.
