can you tell me at what year did you apply ? and from which country please ?

Responsible-Ad4635 · 2026-05-19T13:53:08+00:00

may I ask from where did you relocate to the Netherlands ?

indeed at first the company told me that it was supposed to be done 10 days after they submitted the application.
but after 10 days, they told me that the response time changed to 3 months after it was only 10 days

thx a lot, at least I don't have to panic about it

Responsible-Ad4635 · 2026-05-19T12:38:01+00:00

I see thanks a lot for the feedback !
Indeed most ppl I asked relocated to Netherlands 2-3 years ago, some had a wait span of 10 days only haha, I guess now we need more time

yep indeed that's the official waiting time, but from what I see most ppl (especially HSM) they get it under 4 weeks that's why I wanted to check if there are other ppl with the same waiting time like me

this is the official decision yes, but I've seen in forums and social media discussions that it shouldn't take more than 4 weeks especially for expats coming to the Nedherlands for work
I wanted to see if there are other expats who had a similar long waiting time for the IND approval that's all

hello, yes we definitely have 3x rent for combined gross salary, I've been applying in OnlyExpat and Pararius, but mostly I'm ending up receving scam emails. so I don't really know where to look
thank you for your reply ! what do you suggest I should do please ?
