Can I get a mortgage as a knowledge migrant on the 30% ruling?

Yes. Knowledge migrants (kennismigranten) and highly skilled migrants can get a Dutch mortgage based on their employment contract, and some lenders take the 30% ruling into account when assessing income. Because the ruling is temporary, lenders also look at how long it still runs and your residence permit (verblijfsvergunning). This often lets skilled migrants buy soon after arriving.
