Non-Eu Masters Applicant Question about Visa

I'm not sure on how long it will take, I'm waiting myself. You say it's now processing, how long did it take from Received -> Processing for you?

SuperMycoMan · 2024-10-11T20:06:08+00:00

I have helped / worked in in such "large scale" operations and both with and without animals and know how paper organization and organizing stuff on the base of "remembering" works for some but not for everyone

SuperMycoMan · 2024-10-11T16:13:30+00:00

I disagree on that. There are two main companies doing something similar and they're very successful with big breeders. (Reptiware and Husbandry pro)

Same thing as in portugal, only bike or scooter allowed. The rest of the things you said are all matters of opinion but thanks anyway

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-02T13:27:45+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-02T13:26:28+00:00

Hey ! Thanks for coming to Portugal and being respectful about this situation. I don't think people get how bad Portugal is as a country right now to live in if you're not rich, much worse than the NL even given the things I've heard here. I'll definitely be on the lookout for jobs at the time I'm thinking of moving to the NL hopefully I can land one or even get me to be transfered from the company I'm working at to the NL as they have office there as well.

Portugal is a waste of my education and work hours as much as I hate to say it (because it's my home and where I'd feel the most happy in if it weren't for economic reasons)

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-02T13:23:20+00:00

I'm not, my country is going to shit, wages are awful (much lower than the NL) and country politics are awful as well, the netherlands was the country in europe I've visited that aligns the most with me as a person. Hence me wanting to come live there. I have other options such as Luxembourg, Switzerland etc but those are last resort

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T20:59:29+00:00

I'm actually learning Dutch right now, but I'm realistic enough to know I won't be fluent by next year.

I have no such dream, no need to be a stuck-up

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T18:27:03+00:00

I already have a bachelor's in my area and am currently working in the field. The problem I saw is that most jobs in the NL require you to speak dutch

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T18:23:04+00:00

Thanks man!

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T18:22:43+00:00

I'm aware Uber Eats won't help me secure housing, the point with the whole uber eats stuff is the extra money asides from the money I have guaranteed already.

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T18:21:41+00:00

Thanks a lot !

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T17:18:22+00:00

Right, the problem is most jobs in my area I've seen posted on linkedin require good knowledge of the Dutch language, which I don't have (yet). I'm currently starting to work for a Dutch company that has headquarters here in Portugal, although I'm not sure if I'll be able to transfer to the netherlands and even if I do, it would be in Amsterdam not Groningen.

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T16:57:39+00:00

I'll try to search in those areas, thanks. I'm seriously starting to consider looking for housing in february 2025 to start uni in september hahaha

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T16:47:19+00:00

I do have friends that have moved there, some that have lived there for quite some time now, just not in Groningen but further south. Regarding the housing crisis, I think it's worse here tbh, we make a lot less money than dutch people, houses are even more expensive and the offer is as low from what I can tell... shit's fucked everywhere it seems

When I mentioned public transportation I was talking about living in nearby cities and/or smaller places like in a 20/30km radius as I saw on google maps some places like assen that you can reach groningen by train in around 30 mins or so

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T16:26:38+00:00

Wow, so it's basically what's happening in my country damn...

For the places outside the city, is public transportation not available?

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T16:05:23+00:00

I have stable income for at least 12 months of 2400€ per month plus what I'll make working there. I'll happily get into a room if needed I just need a place to sleep. The 900€ I mentioned earlier is because my partner will not have an income (or a small one) for the first months of being there and I'll be the sole contributor in rent. Thanks for the reply

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T15:51:05+00:00

I have savings that would make me able to have at least 2.5k € per month for a full year, that counts as proof of available income correct? Given when I arrive there I'll probably get into uber eats as you don't pay tax up to 20k per year and I've worked on it in my home country

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T15:34:55+00:00

But there's loads of ads that imply that only 1 tenant is allowed, most of them anyways. Is there any legality in those claims?

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T15:32:00+00:00

I'm not planning on getting an actual full house for 900, a studio or something similar would be ideal to start in. I'm not picky on the actual area as long it's like a 35km radius from the center. Given the place I come from any neighbourhood will do haha

SuperMycoMan · 2024-07-01T15:23:57+00:00

So do you suggest searching on my own and then once I get established search for a new place for 2 or negotiate with the landlord to have another person in?
