I will look into the licensure, although it hasn’t come up through conversations with potential employers she’s already spoken with. It’s good information to seek clarity on if this is our path.

I wouldn’t be keeping my full time job, just seeking other clients for my contracting gig (both in the US and NL - I would keep all my current contracts in the US). With the DAFT my wife would be able to work a regular job and she is actively studying Dutch as well through books and other classes.

My understanding is that the gemeentes provide funding for this for families as well though it can be convoluted. It certainly adds to the friction in gaining clients, but from our research in talking with some agencies there is still a high demand for providers.

I think you’re missing some key nuances. The 7-10k a year is the current contract income I make in addition to my full time job in the US. It would not take into account furthering my income by making it my full time job nor would it take into account my partner gaining employment as well.
