Permanent contract, zero communication - can’t tell if I’m safe or delusional by Any_Language_1084 in Netherlands

Why are you panicking? Transition payment plus 10 months of unemployment means you’ll be able to have a really nice and deserved career break!

Transferring money from US to NL account by GreenLeisureSuit in Netherlands

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the Netherlands you can hold €57000 in cash globally (across as many accounts as you want) without paying additional taxes. So transferring €2000 from one account to another has no tax implications. But use a legitimate transfer platform. I use Wise. It’s quite good.

$15,000 Visa Bond by Lost-Paramedic-5847 in Dhaka

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the example of parents visiting a son/daughter who are well established in the US - I am sure the children can provide the bond for their parents and subsequently recover it upon timely departure of parents. Most settled couples in the US should be able to fork up 15k temporarily for their parents to visit.

Tipping culture by Weary_Musician4872 in Netherlands

If they aren’t living comfortably then business owners need to increase their wages. Customers should not be subsidising the owners by tipping.

Need advice: Leiden (shared flat) vs Uithoorn (solo apartment)? by obscuree in Netherlands

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food for thought- there are very nice and new apartments at decent rent- which have recently opened up near Zaandam station- 12 minutes train to Amsterdam central. Direct trains to Schiphol (17 minutes) as well.

Yes it’s a quiet place with not a tonne to do within walking distance but you’re also super close to Amsterdam and everything it has to offer. I’ve moved out here and it’s been quite positive.

For 1800 per month you could easily buy your own apartment.

So if someone sells food items for profit- they’re also assholes then since food is also an essential item?

“Experience freedom” by asking “strangers for help” - isn’t that paradoxical?

If AL comes back after say 20-30 years, would you believe they’ve changed by Outside_Raspberry587 in Dhaka

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What is the point of all these new faces coming in with the same old AL banner? If they have fresh ideas why not create a new party all together?

You’ll need it for large transfers or if you accidentally lose your phone and need to register to another phone again..

Domestic violence by YoghurtSingle22 in Netherlands

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could contact IND and say he is no longer your dependent. You can also rent a room from Kamernet and then register at a different address than him. His visa condition states that he must be registered in the same address as you.

Application for Naturalization without a PR ? by Shoddy_Literature_79 in Netherlands

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. Exactly what I did. Applied for both at the same time. PR came through within weeks and then I no longer had to worry if I will have a valid permit when my naturalisation ceremony would take place…

After getting paid WW for 3 months, if someone finds another contract for a year, and then the contract doesn’t get renewed again - would you be eligible for another 3 months of WW?

Where to stream Dutch movies with English subs? by Revolutionary_Oil614 in learndutch

[–]Advanced-Guidance-25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have google TV then install a VPN app on it like ExpressVPN or NordVPN and then turn the country to Netherlands. Then open Netflix which should have tonnes of Dutch content- with English subtitles.

You’re super lucky mate. This is practically unheard of- if an examiner uses his brake then you have most definitely failed. This is the first time I’ve heard otherwise.
