The Netherlands has a good economic situation and is China's second largest trading country in Europe. Many big companies such as Philips and Shell have close cooperation with China, so there are more employment opportunities for overseas students in China.

Students who graduate from the Netherlands can get a one-year work visa in order to find employment opportunities in the Netherlands. If they find a job within one year, and the Dutch employer can apply for a Kennismigrant visa, they will be eligible to apply for residence after working in the Netherlands for five years.
