I'm planning to apply for HSMP and I have a big confusion, here's my situation explained and my question. Please someone guide me and help me on the same:
- I'm an Indian working with an employer in India since last 4 years.
- I'm currently in the Netherlands since one year on a residence / work permit through this employer.
- I'm working for this employer in the Netherlands at various clients.
- I'm paid my Indian salary as usual and paid my daily allowances or per diem as it is called. But its not a salary that is paid to me in NL.
- My other living expenses and travel are also taken care by my employer.
Now the questions is that if I apply for HSMP, in my previous earnings section can I claim points based only on my Indian salary though I'm staying in the Netherlands the entire claim period ?? basically can the band D country earning (India) apply in my case as I'm not salaried in Netherlands but salaried in India ?
Please help me solve this dilemma.
Thanks & Regards
This is mentioned in the HSMP guidance. It does not mention weather the candidate is on buisness visa or work permit. It just says that if someone goes abroad and his salary continues to be paid back in the native country, he will be assessed according to native country.MyHSMPApplication wrote:Chaps as per my knowledge Victoria is right is this matter, unless Prem produces the document to support his claim
Prem, I am pretty sure what you have mentioned isn't correct. Can you please provide the link to the document where you got this information?
Cheers

The guidance notes (9-aug-07, p29) identify the country to which one has been seconded and where one has been working, rather than the country from which one has been seconded. So I'd also agree that the OP can't claim his earnings under band D if he's been 'living and working' in a band-A country for the whole of the period, and even has a residence/work permit there. Note also para 43, with reference to where the bank account is, into which salary is being paid. One could examine under what circumstances the original country would be exceptionally considered instead - but at this point the OP's situation seems to be covered quite adequately by those two paragraphs.42. If you have been seconded overseas during the last 15 months and your salary continues to be paid in the normal manner overseas, the country where you have been seconded to and working would normally be considered. In order for us to establish which country code to consider your earnings against you will need to provide evidence of where you have been working and where your salary has been paid for the 12-month period you wish us to consider.
43. If you are living and working in a country but having your income paid into a bank account in another country your income will be considered against the country code where you are living and working.

I'm in the same position like you. I'm working for an Indian Company and on assignment in Switzerland. Only in my case, my pay slip shows the monthly per diem as converted into INR. I'm also in doubt about my country band.
