The Dutch immigration and naturalization service (IND) has announced recently that the application for extension/renewal of the residence permits of IRANAIN knowledge migrants (skilled workers & PhD students/candidates) in the petroleum gas, and petrochemical industries is HOLD until further notice..
IND justification for this decision is based upon new EU regulations (No.267/2012, dated 23rd. March.2012) for implementation of enhanced sanctions against Iran Government, however this decision made by IND has strong negative impacts mainly on people who has been living in the Netherlands for few years. The stress and uncertainty of the situation has left too much frustration and even jeopardize their future jobs and consequently their lives in the Netherlands.
The main intension of Dutch companies by hiring Iranian experts is to strengthen Oil & Gas market’s knowledge and fulfill skilled manpower shortage; however returning home Iranian highly skilled migrants is on contrary with original target of sanction to prevent transferring technological knowledge back to Iran.
Outcome of this decision by IND is influencing negatively on daily life of people (who has brought to the Netherlands legally) does not reflect tolerance, compassion and traditional Dutch values for guests.
We, the undersigned, request the Dutch Government compel the IND to stop Holding residence and work applications of Iranian highly skilled migrants in Oil & Gas solely because of their nationality which definitely contradicts the EU human rights policy.
