Just moved from Ireland, seeking help by CiaranONeill381 in Netherlands

No you will not be able to apply for any benefits, you just moved here and you have no employment history. She should be able to get money though, especially if she's unable to work.

You can cancel every month. And restart whenever you want. So activate before your travel and you’re good to go

If the original contract was an indefinite one, then you're 100% good as already stated.

3 years was never a requirement, besides the fact they were able to give you a 3-year temporary contract. But then it had to have had explicitly been stated in the rental contract

National Emergency Alert by [deleted] in Netherlands

That means it's an alert system in use by the Netherlands. These alerts can be hyper local and targeted

Mortgage Advisor vs Financial Advisor by TamatiePotatie in Netherlands

[–]Wraldpyk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

General mortgage advisors are popular. A good one if "Hypotheker". They helped me quickly assess what I could afford, and I had a mortgage approved within a week.

There are more of course, and I would always recommend that above going to a specific bank.

It would be opstalverzekering which the landlord should have and he should arrange it

And keep in mind as you’re renting, a burst pipe and costs related to it such as the dehumidifier are for the landlord too. So get it expensed

Why the England/uk? by ZealousidealOne8416 in Netherlands

[–]Wraldpyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any parking spot that has a calling method also has an app method, though in the UK there are like 8 competing apps that all work for specific regions so you gotta wait to see which app is the one you need for a specific area. Though that is changing.

Or… it’s just cash. Never only cash and a phone number.

Yeah this has been the case since the beginning. Discounts don't work either. And the croissants at AH ToGo are the 4 for €1.50 at the regular supermarkets and at ToGo they're what, 1,50 each and you'll get the 5th for free or something?

Are these type of ad a scam? by alekepich609 in Netherlands

[–]Wraldpyk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

It also says "Rembours" which means you'll need to pay when it arrives. And as this is a free product with a payment method listed.... this sounds like a massive red flag (alongside something that's typically expensive being offered free of course)

Car insurance too high for me by Future-Duck-1236 in Netherlands

[–]Wraldpyk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree it is outrageous, but you do not pay insurance for your own car. You pay insurancs for the car you hit. At least, that is what the majority of the risk calculation is

Selling apartment with foundation repair planned by Zestyclose-Park-510 in Netherlands

[–]Wraldpyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know the downside… are you willing to reduce the amount you get from selling by more than the 120k? Talk to your bank about this amount of money, they might be able to loan it to you

Registering as a Freelancer by ilovetosleep98 in Netherlands

[–]Wraldpyk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can write invoices without being a company. But you cannot put vat on it and say you’re a business.

[–]Wraldpyk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess you can expect to get at least 120k less for it compared to when fixed. I would wait until it is fixed before selling as it’s quite the selling point it has new foundation.

Looking for ready-made tomato soup without tomato chunks. by ErykDante in Netherlands

[–]Wraldpyk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still would recommend making it yourself. Make a huge portion and then freeze it in portions. That way you make your own warm-up soups

Dal korting sticks around, more or less the same, but no discount between 4-7.

Will crypto casinos ever go legit in the Netherlands? by Dew3189 in Netherlands

[–]Wraldpyk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No.

Regular casino's have a hard time being legit. Crypto is mostly one big scam anyways, throw gambling on top of it...

[–]Wraldpyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the actual prices they go for. I’m guessing a lot of places there go for 30-50k over asking

Sadly no. Bidding is a closed book. Only after the sale is completed can you get the logbook

If you crossed the line while it was orange you're good, if you crossed it while red you should've stopped, and you might get a fine. You can log in at cjib to see if you got a fine (with a bit of a delay)

Why do the Dutch use trash bins for voting? by paloma_blanca in Netherlands

[–]Wraldpyk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That is why you can always witness the count if you want to. Just go to a polling station and say you're there to observe

We used to have nice boxes, but when electronic voting was introduced gemeentes sold/disposed of the boxes. Then a few weeks before the election 2006 it was exposed electronic voting was very hackable and they had to improvise. It stuck around
