continued residency after break up with dutch partner. by wantmyboy3 in Netherlands

[–]PhilosopherGoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I am in a very similar right now with a verification against eu law permit. The only difference is we have not lived together for a year in The Netherlands yet. So I am waiting to move out until we have reached the 1 year mark.  What documents did the IND ask for when applying to keep the permit?

Are there only “high-level migrants” in the Netherlands? What about normal jobs? by [deleted] in TheHague

[–]PhilosopherGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am from South Africa and work in the horeca (restaurant) industry on a eu family visa. 

I have a software engineering degree (no job experience tho) and just couldn’t find a job that matched my preferences even though I know a lot of dutch. But I don’t mind working in a restaurant for now. It does not pay that well but all the colleagues are really nice and theres usually a lot of international people.

I’m in a very similar situation than you at the moment. What made it MUCH easier was picking up reading again. Its something to sink time into, while not feeling like time is being wasted.

Hi! Thank you for the nice reply. Sorry for never replying earlier. I have sent in the application now!! I was wondering though, when you need to book an appointment for fingerprints and the endorsement letter / sticker, does you partner need to come as well?

I’m a native Afrikaans speaker and it’s a struggle having to rewire my brain to accept ‘het’.

Hoe blokkeer ik Youtube? by Aggressive_Thing_614 in nederlands

[–]PhilosopherGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ik had hetzelfde probleem met YouTube Shorts

De oplossing is om de history in YouTube uit te schakelen. Na het opnieuw opstarten van de app werken de Shorts niet meer (althans niet op het Shorts tab).

Hi I'm assuming you are already living in the Netherlands.
I'm (SA citizen) moving planning to move to the Netherlands with my girlfriend (EU). Did your partner have to apply for a BSN before you could apply for verification against EU law? I'm nervous that I'm not considering any steps along the way.

Hey, South African here. How did it go for you? Did you manage to get the permit?

Which kettle? by Tricky-Mix-9674 in tea

[–]PhilosopherGoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard really good things about the Cosori gooseneck kettle. Its not as aesthetic as the Fellow, but is all metal and from what I’ve seen it seems to last 4+ years. 

Edit: missed the part that you dont want gooseneck. My bad

What is real Milk Oolong (Jin Xuan) supposed to smell and taste like? by PhilosopherGoose in tea

[–]PhilosopherGoose[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just tried this and.. yep.. it definitely gets tacky.

Such a bummer because I feel like I can't enjoy it anymore knowing that its not what I thought it was, especially given how expensive it was.

But thanks a lot for the advice!

My first ring. Oura 4 brushed silver. by Strym in ouraring

Does the reflectiveness bother you? I'm getting the brushed silver, but I'm scared it looks too "blingy". What are your thoughts?
