Drawing on 24 stakeholder interviews and desk research, this brief analyses the India-Netherlands migration skill corridor. The corridor – which emerged following the introduction of the Netherlands’ Highly Skilled Migrant Scheme in 2004 – is characterised as predominantly highly skilled and private-sector led. Though relatively new, the corridor is well established, with India representing the most important origin country for highly skilled migrants to the Netherlands. Migration is largely demand-driven and shaped by employer needs rather than formal bilateral agreements. While the corridor functions effectively for highly skilled migrants, it remains underdeveloped for medium-skilled mobility and is constrained by institutional bottlenecks and policy ambiguities.
