Hello, I want to come to the Netherlands for work. I entered the ind website, but I did not understand much about how I can find a sponsor who will take care of me for work.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

As a non-EU citizen, you will need to apply for a highly skilled migrant visa; this will take you to the relevant section of the IND website, where it describes the process.聽 To do this, you will need to find an employer who is willing to sponsor/employ you.聽 I've looked at your Forum profile, and I don't know whether your declared skill set lends itself to this.聽 Whatever, all you can do is try, so my advice is to join something like LinkedIn and reach out to your peers who are already working in companies that use your skill-set in the Netherlands.

I hope this helps.
