IND Announces Humanitarian Residence Permit Categories
The Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) has published six categories of foreign nationals eligible for a humanitarian residence permit in the Netherlands. These permits are temporary and granted on compassionate grounds.
The first category includes victims of human trafficking and witnesses who report such crimes. The second category pertains to children under court-ordered guardianship, allowing their parents and siblings under 18 to apply as well.
The third category involves children placed in Dutch foster homes under the Hague Child Protection Convention, requiring prior approval from both Dutch authorities and the child's country of origin. The fourth category is for individuals unable to leave the Netherlands due to circumstances beyond their control, who must have confirmed identity and nationality.
The fifth category is specific to Afghan minor girls already in the Netherlands who have integrated into Western life. Lastly, the sixth category covers terminally ill foreign nationals no longer receiving curative treatment.
The IND oversees all applications and makes final determinations.
