You do not "buy" working visas. Here in the Netherlands there is a very official system dealt with by the immigration dept and the rules are clear and straight. Corruption and buying off people is not a system that works here with official matters like this. In short - unless you hold a EU passport (or have a relationship with a Dutch/EU national) then in principle there are only a couple of 'routes' in to getting a working visa which is what you will need to move here and work. You can read more about them all on the Dutch Immigration site here in English http://www.ind.nl/EN/verblijfwijzer/ and the easier to read brochure on the same site http://www.ind.nl/en/Images/VIN_ENG_0806_tcm6-595.pdf (a) being self-employed (b) as a 'au pair' (c) As a highly skilled migrant (d) Self employed (d) When aa company sponsors you with a job offer Basically to get a working visa for the latter you must have a job offer and it is catch 22 as companies do not want to take the time, money or effort to bring someone from outside the EU unless they hold specialist knowledge/experience that they cannot find within the EU. You will see for many job advertisments that they specifiy that applications can only be accepted from people eligible (EU or already holding a working visa) to work already. You could also look at International companies which have branches in your country and also the Netherlands with a view to a transfer (based on knowledge/experience) as this is a viable route in, otherwise I think you will have a difficult task. This is not unique to the Netherlands. Because of influxes of immigrants in the last 10 years, rules have tightened updramatically. The rules may vary slightly within the EU countries, but the principles are the same. So your starting point should be with the IND links I gave you above or your local Dutch embassy, to see how/if you qualify for a working visa here.
