That is very interesting, I didn't know about it. I feel like the capital requirement still means that it isn't for "labor" though. For instance, can people using that program get jobs? I wish my country, and others, would lower these sorts of barriers and let people go wherever they can be successful and happy.

I'm not sure, I suspect it's only a residency permit, not a work permit. Never investigated it further.

You can, however, become a freelancer. Not the same, but close enough. If this were not just US->NL but US<->NL, that would be swell.
