If my future employer provides me a highly skilled migrant permit for Netherlands, I am wondering if and how I could get Netherlands citizenship many years later?

If a citizenship is not possible, what is the next best thing (say, permanent residency) one could get?

    This information can easily be found online in the IND website, for example: https://ind.nl/en/dutch-citizenship/Pages/Naturalisation.aspx – Dr. Snoopy Dec 08 '21 at 11:31
  • @Dr.Snoopy Thanks for the link. I need some more clarification on some of the terms in the document you shared, so I was hoping someone can elaborate the process a little more. For example, the document says, "You live in the Netherlands with a residence permit." What constitutes a "residence permit"? Does a "highly skilled migrant" permit also count as residence permit (I will be living in Netherlands after all)? Or is there a separate path to obtain a residence permit? – World Wide Wanderer Dec 08 '21 at 11:49

    Residence permit is the general category, highly skilled migrant residence permit is of course one type of residence permit. – Dr. Snoopy Dec 08 '21 at 12:12

    @WorldWideWanderer: There is no such thing as a "highly skilled migrant permit" - that's just a category of how you can get a permit. What you hold as a highly skilled migrant is a "residence permit", period. – einpoklum Dec 09 '21 at 20:24
