Pathway overview

For the non-EU partner of a Dutch citizen or resident to join them in the Netherlands.

Verified directly from ind.nl: you and your partner must both be 21 or older (18 or older if you were already married while both living outside the Netherlands — not checked by this tool), have a verifiable relationship (married, registered partnership, or a durable unmarried relationship), and your sponsor must have Dutch nationality or a valid Dutch residence permit. You must pass the civic integration exam abroad before applying for the MVV entry visa (real exemptions apply, not checked here), and your combined household income must meet the IND's own income requirement (checked via a separate income-test tool, no single figure disclosed on this permit's own page — checked here as a self-declared yes/no).
