What is EU blue card?
Something that allows you to accumalate time while working in different member states, so that in the end you can get a PR/Citizenship.
The blue card is an approved EU-wide resident permit allowing high talented non-EU residents to work and live in any nation within the European Union, barring Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom, which are not subject to the proposal.
One can work in the EU. But, while moving from one member state to the other, one has to pay money and apply for an RP costing 909 Euros, for example, in the Netherland, in order to work here. One does not need to be in Europe to apply for the blue card.

Unemployment for highly-qualified workers may not last longer than 3 consecutive months.
This PERMIT seems to be not for simple people who finished a degree and looking to start their career. This is for the real deal, people with good amount of experience.
Important requirements
- Non-EU citizenship
- Educated or professionally experienced
-
Work contract or binding job offer Official-source
- Earn a minimum of 4.908 euros gross per month for Netherlands in the contract - iamexpat
Should be possible with enough experience.
Who issues the EU blue card
The immigration services of the country in which the employment and residence will be taken up.
EU Blue Card law dictates European immigration services to issue the Blue Card work and residence permit within three months. This is considerably faster than most local alternatives.
So we get the Blue card in 3 months, once an empoyee chooses us, and sponsors the blue card.
When do you loose your Blue card?
EU Blue Card holders are allowed to go back to their home countries or other non-EU states for a maximum of 12 consecutive months without losing the EU Blue Card ownership.
EU blue card to PR to Citizenship
Yes. You must work for 33 months in the hosting state or 21 months while also earning the B1 language certificate which enables you to qualify for the permanent residency permit earlier. Furthermore, if you work in different EU member states and gather 5 years of work experience altogether then you are a strong candidate for the permanent residency permit.
So it is clear. 21 months with B1 in the hosting state or 5 years in different states all put together in the bluecard.

Bypassing my problems
Apply for PR and apply for passport simultaneously. I am confident I will get a PR. It will take me atleast 3 years from now to receive it in hand.
Dutch Citizenship: You can surrender your Indian passport and get a Netherlands passport. The prerequisites for citizenship and PR are same – only that PR takes about 2 months to arrive from the time you apply for it while the passport will take about 1 year. So a lot of Indians apply for the PR and also apply for the passport in parallel. -Indians in Netherlands
It is possible to apply for PR and Citizenship at the same time!
People have gotten their Citizenship rejected and Pr not as in the same post above, for not meeting the requirements. However, appeals can be made. I need to write soem FB posts and check with others regarding what works and not.
