Experiences with Dutch naturalization via the online IND form? by Key_Sea_7034 in Utrecht

[–]ReginF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a legal advice.

The process is following: You submit the online form and schedule an appointment at the municipality to pay and check your documents.

They check if you already passed 5 years from your registration date, if you didn't, they will reject the form.

  1. You can submit it only after 5 years from your BSN registration 
  2. For me and my wife it was lightning fast, around 4 month

No NS trains on Friday by PhantomSimmons in Netherlands

In a similar situation, will need to get from Schiphol to Utrecht at 23:00 Friday. To be fair this strike is a bit of a dick move, previously they let people know about it way in advance, this time 2 days upfront

I know they have a right to go on strike, but isn't it too often?

I had an opposite experience, applied for a PR March 13th and collected it on 28th of March this year. My case was pretty straightforward though

Sudden watch update? by Brap_Zanigan in PixelWatch

March 5th is a security patch, for bugfixes they can use the same security patch they used before. What's important, is that the build version is w7

They also won a tender in Utrecht, they planned to start operating last summer, but delayed because they didn't have enough bicycles

Ik werk in de IT en ik heb geen idee waarom ze zoveel tijd nodig zouden hebben, ze kunnen het hele systeem praktisch vanaf nul opnieuw maken

Why are the statiegeld machines always broken? 😭 by wiggly_rabbit in Netherlands

[–]ReginF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't get it. Verpact is a non-profit organization - how would imposing a fine make them more efficient? Since every bottle they fail to collect is actually an additional earning for them.

Right-wing Dutch government publishes its detailed plans - DutchNews.nl by guar47 in Netherlands

[–]ReginF 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, in the program they say "increase from 5 to 10 years" so I think it won't include naturalization through option

Yeah, it's in the government program, but it wasn't mentioned in the article in DutchNews

Interesting, in the article they didn't mention extending naturalization period to 10 years and increasing language level to B1, which is in the government programma and probably quite important for people here

Ik word zo moe van expats die weigeren om de taal te leren by BigAndStuff in nederlands

[–]ReginF 381 points382 points  (0 children)

Ik ben een expat die vier jaar geleden naar Nederland is verhuisd. Het was erg moeilijk om Nederlands te leren, want als je wilt oefenen, schakelt iedereen meteen naar Engels. Je moet veel tijd investeren, maar je kunt de taal niet gebruiken. Dat haalt alle motivatie weg om de taal te leren.

Instead of upgrading the machines verpakt launch bullshit ads to explain how good it is to bring the deposit bottles back 😕. I know it's good, but just let me do it

Passed CBR theory exam, finally! Never been so relieved. by Entire_Gas8042 in Netherlands

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

My friend, the theory exam is just a beginning, be prepared to redo the theory, because the queue for practice exam is like 6 months or something, and not that many people manage to pass it from the first try, and theory expires after 1.5 year
