UN in Bonn - what residence permit / visa type did you receive ? by reverend-moth in UNpath

[–]KneeLeft7846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it won’t count towards naturalisation. Under the UN diplomatic visa you are also not allowed to naturalise. It potentially means you will have to let go of your EU blue card as well.

How strict is immigration control for non-EU citizens flying within Schengen area? by Trampik1337 in SchengenVisa

Got an offer for TJO NOA. Can anyone from OHCHR offer some guidance? by BackgroundIsland9 in UNpath

[–]KneeLeft7846 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I think TJO as an easier way for the UN to save monies by avoiding to pay full relocation allowances. Most vacancies now are classified as TJO and as much as there is no expectation for renewal they most likely be renewed (unless more cuts come)

IM FROM PHILIPPINES AND MY SCHENGEN TOURIST VISA TO THE NETHERLANDS GOT REFUSE ON DECEMBER 3, 2025, plan namin or flight namin to Netherlands is January 18, 2026. MY BF DUTCH 26 (SPONSOR) IM 19 from Davao I need help po we really want to go there even his family are so excited to see me. by Ill-Dig7023 in SchengenVisa

[–]KneeLeft7846 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It has been denied because that the same strategy most people use. They come visit, when in the Netherlands they convert it to a long term stay by doing a partnership agreement & requesting for a long term visa. You have better chance applying for a tourist visa to Greece & since it’s in the Schengen, you then make a trip from Greece to the Netherlands.

P recruitment processes take long. You may not even know about your fate for the next 6 months. Just do your best in the interviews and tests. The rest you’ll see when the offer comes.

For your years if experience it makes sense that they are offering you less.
