A Netherlands seasonal work visa allows you as a foreign employee who is a national of a country outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland to work in the agricultural sector in the Netherlands for a maximum of 6 months.

According to the IND website, this Dutch residence permit for seasonal work is only for workers who are nationals of a country outside the EU, EEA or Switzerland who wishes do seasonal work for a Dutch company in the agriculture or horticulture sector for a maximum of 6 months.

To work in the Netherlands as a seasonal worker, you will need a residence permit and a work permit (tewerkstellingsvergunning or TWV).

The residence permit and work permit are applied for together as a single permit (gecombineerde vergunning voor verblijf en arbeid or GVVA). The IND will assess the application. For the work permit, the IND will request advice from the Employee Insurance Agency (UWV).

As a foreign worker looking to move to Netherlands under the seasonal work visa, you will need to also adhere to the following:
