Summary
The Dutch immigration service, IND, is drowning in court-ordered penalties—nearly €99 million paid this year alone, far surpassing last year’s total. Over 6,300 penalty payments exceeding €3,000 have been issued, with more than half already made by July. The system, designed to force timely decisions, has backfired: officials say it slows processing and costs taxpayers, while the IND wants the penalties scrapped entirely. A parliamentary attempt to eliminate them passed the lower house but now faces Senate delays—and potential EU legal hurdles.
