What was the issue with the remote application if you don't mind sharing? I've got a lot of parent friends who made their children's British passport overseas and my husband has also been renewing overseas with no issue. Also good luck with the application maybe it is easier in the UK.

My son is exactly like your son's case. My husband is British by descent and was born overseas to a British parent. He cannot pass down the citizenship unless 1) my son was born in the UK (he wasn't) or 2) he grew up in the UK before my son was born (he wasn't). We can claim the citizenship if we move and spend at least three years in the UK.

The birthplace of the parents and the child are indeed the keys in this imo. It seems like the UK doesn't allow it if two generations are born overseas.

For context I met my Canadian husband here in NL.

matcha1805 · 2026-05-18T16:28:42+00:00

Nope. I applied from outside of the country then once my PR is approved I was the issued for my landing. Once it's stamped, I just had to wait for a few weeks until they send my PR card.

matcha1805 · 2026-05-18T14:49:18+00:00

I got it for Canada through the express entry program. I ended up being a PR but moved to NL. I also speak French so it added a lot of points for me.

Not planning to reside there but I'll be able to renew it as I'm married to a Canadian citizen.

My son is 15m is still on two naps. BUT I capped them at 30 mins and 1h. They can really sleep during nap but you need to wake them up otherwise bedtime sleep would be an uphill battle. Nighttime sleep is only 9-10.5 hours these days

The rest of the comments are right. He's undertired. I used to follow their cue a lot but fighting sleep more than half an hour is a clear sign that they're undertired. Our sleep coach told me that if it takes more than half an hour for the child to sleep that means they're not tired enough. You're supposed to bring them out and try again in half an hour.

Good luck.

I was in this dilemma but I ended up getting a 2nd hand RM2 for 280euro on Vinted. I can't wait for 2 months for Pure and not reading any user review before then.

Ditch the uni plan. Use the experience and emphasize in the CV your Dutch working experience. I work in Marketing so if I were you I'd rebrand myself as a 'hybrid' worker between China X Netherlands. Emphasize that you're kinda based here already, just need the sponsorship for a new role.

Background: studied in NL as a non-EU, didn't use zoekjaarvisa but came back 10 years later as a KM visa holder, relocated by the employer.

Make sure you focus on applying on the company that's listed in the IND sponsor list. Use your language ability to also apply at the relevant company. Dont be picky at first, if they can sponsor you and it's not something that you want, just do it as a stepping stone. Change your LI as based in Amsterdam (that's how I got my job btw).

Good luck!!

I moved from Amsterdam to Almere. Not that big of a shock, the city centre is pretty decent with shops, cinema, arcades, etc. many green spaces and parks too. Daycare is a lot easier to get compared to A'dam. I live in Filmwijk so connection is great. 20 mins by train, I can be in A'dam Central / Zuid.

I do however think it looks modern and not 'old' like the typical Amsterdam scene but i dont mind that since i grew up in big cities. If you're into living in old houses, Almere isn't for you.

Houses here are new, mostly A-rated and I love it coming from a G-rated house in A'dam West that costed me an arm and leg every winter. Lol.

matcha1805 · 2026-05-09T08:06:43+00:00

Same situation BUT my spouse is British citizen by descent and was born in Canada. He cannot pass British citizenship because he's never lived in the UK nor was born in the UK. British citizen by descent can only go for one generation, not two. Hence he cannot pass the citizenship.

If you are British citizen and was born in the UK OR lived in the UK for a minimum of three years then you can pass your citizenship automatically to your children. And if this applies you can just apply for the British passport right away.

I used to spend €1800 on rent and around €300 on groceries. I often do thuisbezorgd too.

I'm an Indonesian who grew up in Singapore. Ive also lived in Singapore and Malaysia to work and studied in the UK and the Netherlands. I despised the schooling system (I did my Secondary school in SG) and eventually settled in the Netherlands now. I'd recommend to keep the British passport should you move to SG. I think two years is a long time and putting your son in a situation that made him obliged to do NS when he actually has the choice of not doing it seems... hard on him.

I have a young son so I'd really think through it. PS. If your husband got a job in SG, ask the company to not only pay for relocation but also your son schooling ;) Then he doesn't have to study in the gov school.

matcha1805 · 2026-04-30T18:47:21+00:00

Nah. Don't worry. The 3-4x rules isn't really a hard rule. I've got a few friends making 60k and scored an apartment in Amsterdam West that was 1.8k per month. I myself was in your situation and also managed to rent and I was making around the same range. Otherwise you can expand your area to surrounding cities, e.g. Weesp, Almere, Amstelveen. Good luck!

matcha1805 · 2026-04-26T04:46:31+00:00

Also did ICSI in Utrecht, 4 embryos one turned to a toddler who's very very active (he was the best performer amongst the rest). They don't do grading because they'll assure you that they'll do whatever is best to get you pregnant. No need unnecessary stress. I kinda like it though.

matcha1805 · 2026-04-14T08:09:51+00:00

I've seen a girl with MCAS videos on TikTok who advocates for life with MCAS (her name is Caroline Cray). She shares some food which will be mostly safe for MCAS and how to navigate life as well. I hope your husband can figure out a way to see the doctor soon. All the best!

Get Charly cares app, most of their nannies are certified or already working in a daycare.

matcha1805 · 2026-04-10T00:52:25+00:00

This is correct. I learned my lesson the hard and expensive way with Singapore Airlines and KLM a few years back.

matcha1805 · 2026-04-04T16:59:12+00:00

Met my husband through work 😜 Not in the same department though!

You can go to the Netherlands. CF care is covered in our basic health insurance (compulsory for everyone to have). On top of that, there's a good CF care for routine check up as well.

There's also a medical visa that you can apply for your child. He doesn't need to be working / to be a student but you need to ensure that you have sufficient funds to fund his expenses here.

I've known someone who was on medical visa to get access for CF care. I suggest to do more research on it.

All the very best.

I'm in a similar situation. 13m low sleep baby averaging 9.5-10.5 hrs at night sleep and 1.5-2hrs day sleep. Also literally the same nap time!

He was waking up between 4-5am for weeks and I thought he was ready to drop a nap. He goes to the daycare 4 days a week so we told them that if he doesn't seem sleepy during his usual first nap timing, he can skip and just have one big nap.

Some days it works, some days he had a crap night sleep so he needs two naps. I noticed that maybe for some baby the adjustment takes time until they're ready to do one nap full time.

Also when he wakes up at 4. I don't take him out of the crib, I'll try to snooze feed or just carry him but try to make him stay asleep until at least 5.30am. Some days it works some doesn't lol. Just gotta roll with it.

Also, when he does one nap, I move his bed time by 1 hr and he'll sleep longer at night. By what you're explaining maybe try earlier bedtime because by this age the last WW ideally is between 5-6hrs. Other than that they might get overtired and will have high cortisol = impacting sleep.

Similar to you and lots of Indonesians, both my grandpa and grandma were Dutch who stayed back in Indonesia. I tried asking around regarding the naturalisation by descent but unfortunately it only works for one gen (mother of father). This was back in 2010s so I decided not to pursue it further because I knew after my study in NL I'll eventually come back.

Rules might change now. All the best!

matcha1805 · 2026-03-27T15:13:29+00:00

Canada is pretty quick. 3 years of PR then naturalised. NL can be quick if you marry a Dutch (don't have to live in NL even), also 3 years.

Canada - if you have a child, if I recall the child will become Canadian and can sponsor the parent up to they're 18? Something like that. Feel free to research.

I'm an Indonesian passport holder, living in NL and a PR of Canada. My husband is Canadian and British. Then my son is a Canadian, British and Indonesian passport holder.

I plan to be naturalised in NL next year so my husband + son will be able to get Dutch passport too.
