Coalition agreement outlines broad migration restriction plan

Announced Visa & immigration

The July 2024 PVV-VVD-NSC-BBB coalition agreement set out sweeping plans to restrict migration: stricter asylum rules under a proposed "emergency declaration," tightened family-reunification rules, a review of the Highly Skilled Migrant regime, and labour-market test reforms. Draft legislation appeared through 2024-2025; some measures were challenged in court.
