How do I apply for recognised sponsor status in the Netherlands?

Complete the IND application form (available on ind.nl), gather documents (e.g., KvK registration, financial statements), and submit by post or online via Business Portal with eHerkenning. Pay the fee (€4,866 standard, €2,432 for <50 employees or <1.5 years). IND decides within 90 days (2-4 weeks for established firms).
