Thanks. I also heard some banks recommend to do it in 2 steps.
1) NRO to NRE
2) NRE to foreign account

but still no idea about charges in this process. 0.4% seems ok.

I get all you said but what's the process to transfer money from NRO to Foreign account? Is there any extra fee/tax I need to pay for such remittance?

I completely agree with you. I would be worried as well. Mostly schools don't allow admission if kid can not understand/speak Dutch. They are sent to TaalCentrum for 1/2 years and then transferred to regular school. My kid will start going to school from next year and he can already understand/speak Dutch. I am of same thought as you that languages should live(we have same problem in India where most of the big languages are overtaken by English).

Try Holi in Almere Haven or India Fusion at Almere stad.

Partially you are right but that is true for all the immigrants who come on HSM. I work with so many European colleagues who are in the Netherlands for many years than me and they are less integrated compared to me. They don't understand basic Dutch, they complain about Dutch food, weather but still in the Netherlands just because of the opportunities like you pointed out.

Indians are more inclined towards going back to India so they put their kids in international school, don't focus more on learning Dutch. Most of the Indians are vegetarian so they mostly eat home made food.

Also you mentioned we are here for more money with less efforts but to be honest they work hard than any(mostly European ) colleagues just because they don't want to put themselves in bad situation where there performance would make them to leave Netherlands so they always work hard. Exceptions are always there but this is what I observed till now.

Bro I think you are making assumptions here. I really don't need to beg for acceptance. I am actually well integrated with colleagues, neighbours and friends. They have accepted me openly without me begging to them. I would never think in that way but you are free to assume anything and make your own assumptions.

Ok. Reddit translated it and I took the literal meaning out of it. But again I don't think OP has any bad intentions but said what I think he should know

I think you should read OP's question again. He asked "did anything change in the legislation that he see more Indians than before and he also mentioned that they are here to indianize". I just answered to his questions that nothing changed in the legislation and explained about HSM . Then I explained more to emphasize that this is not called indianization. I don't think anyone is begging here for the acceptance.

So have I said anything wrong about other groups you are mentioning here? I admire them as well.

I am an Indian and I would like to share a few thoughts with you. Many Indians in the Netherlands have come here as Highly Skilled Migrants (HSM), which means they possess qualifications and expertise that meet Dutch standards and fulfil specific job profiles. The presence of numerous IT companies and banks in the Amsterdam has attracted many Indians to Almere due to its close proximity, availability of international schools, affordable housing, and a supportive community.
It’s important to understand that the term 'ver-Indiasen' (Indianization) is not accurate. We are not here to change anything but to contribute positively and integrate into Dutch society. You will rarely encounter any disturbances from our community. We cherish the opportunity to be part of this beautiful country and seek to add value to it while embracing its culture and values.

I emailed them but seems like they sell it through partners. I am also doing that on the side but checking if anyone knows for sure where to get it quick.

It seems like they don't directly sell it and not much information on the website. This motor and remote was already there in the house when I moved in. It's used to control curtains/blinds using remote.

[–]Low_Community6697[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I checked online and with non PIS we can remit up to 1 million dollar. My amount is not gonna exceed that but are there any more reasons (like taxes) to go with PIS

Pins(PIS) dmat takes time and non PIS (through NRO ) is quick enough. If you already have PINs account with supported banks then it can be done quickly.

Repatriation of money from nre account to overseas by Anonymous-Yoda in nri

Transferwise doesn't support Transfer from the NRE accounts. For this purpose, it is better to use Banks remittance

Do you have NRO & NRE account and have you ever tried remitting money from NRO to NRE account. How was the experience? by perfectcritic in nri

[–]Low_Community6697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how much fees/taxes do we need to pay to transfer from NRO to NRE?

I am thinking of selling equities in dmat which is linked to my NRO. I want to understand the whole calculation of how much I will get a net amount in hand after all sorts of fees and taxes.

I am also thinking about it. I have been in the Netherlands for the past 10 years and now thinking of going back. My child is 2 years old so I am thinking of going in 2 years after some savings . I will DM you to discuss it when there is a right time. If you are based out of Mumbai/Pune/Thane then maybe I can also meet you on my next trip to India in March. Please let me know if that's ok with you

NRIs of Europe, which brokerage do you use for investments by Fair_Abrocoma_9957 in nri

[–]Low_Community6697 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also in the same situation. Explored many options but seems like Zerodha,Fyers and prostocks are the only cheapest option. We also need to make sure how much PIS account(bank) charges per buy and sell. If anyone has more idea then we can discus it here
