Is the 30% ruling a residence status?
No. It is a tax advantage on top of lawful work residence, with conditions such as the 150 km rule.

このガイドの対象
For tech and engineering hires of recognised sponsors, US founders, and families counting five years to PR.
渡航と滞在
Schengen 90/180. Visa-exempt passports use EES / ETIAS. Chinese passports need a Schengen visa. Visitors cannot work for a Dutch employer.
就労・滞在の道
Highly skilled migrants need a recognised sponsor and a salary line; the EU Blue Card is a parallel option. DAFT lets US citizens enter as entrepreneurs. Graduates may take an orientation year. The 30% ruling is tax, not a visa.
永住と国籍
PR is commonly five years of continuous lawful stay plus civic integration (some exemptions). Nationality also looks at five years and Dutch. Long absences interrupt. Confirm with IND.
Time to PR：5 years
