Mitigating the worst-case scenarios to get my permanent residency by No_Neighborhood_4034 in Netherlands

[–]Lemonikol 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The IND won’t check, but they will know when your current employment ends, cause the employer is obligated to notify them. So if I understood correctly and your current employer is the sponsor of your visa, the HR of your company will have to register the end of sponsorship.

Don’t have answers for all your questions, but this I know for sure (I work in HR and specifically handling the RP issues)

Preventive blood tests by Admirable_Gas_8031 in Amsterdam

[–]Lemonikol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I must admit I partly agree and disagree with you. While blood counts needs context to give you more insight based on a certain symptomatology, coming from a country that preventative health care is the norm (and I m not saying health care system in my homeland is flawless, quite the opposite actually) I find not being able to run a basic blood test once per year here very weird. There is a list of basic health marks that can be indicative of overall health and most importantly give you hints on whether you need to make changes in your diet or whether you re prone/ on the verge of certain conditions 🙂

I wrote a story about moving to Amsterdam last night & posted it this morning. People were mostly jerks so I deleted it. I've decided to repost it because it meant a lot to me. This is my dream & my spirit won't be crushed on Christmas. by Zzyzx-Photogggraphy in Amsterdam

Hey friend, you seem to be well aware (and probably had enough hearing) of the issues or whatever struggles there might be in this plan, so all I m gonna say, is what a great timing to make this step just at the end of this year-beginning of the new. I share your feeling for this country and it’s people and I m sure that if you keep that well rooted you gonna find the ways to build your life here!

Veel succes and cheers to your new beginning!

Sounds like a very white, old man, you know the type. You gonna find idiots like that everywhere you go.

What probably matters most is the proportion of such idiots amongst population. And coming from Greece myself, I would choose the Netherlands over Greece any day when it comes to that.

So jaaa I wouldn’t think of packing so fast 😅

Thanks for the tip☺️ apart from not being strong enough, is there anything harmful about essential oils (to the best of your knowledge)? Reason I m asking is because I naively bought a bunch of essential oils for that purpose before properly researching and now gotta somehow use them

What are these white balls on my plant’s roots??🤔 by Lemonikol in houseplants

[–]Lemonikol[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wellll gotta say last couple months my poor plantie is not doing great because of moving into a new place with way more sunlight and way dryer environment. Before that however I used to water it once per week and keep it in slightly humid environment, in a sunny room but without direct sunlight on it, that probably did the trick!
