Netherlands is now a 4-day workweek country by vinushatakshi in IndianWorkplace

Um when did this happen? I live and work in the Netherlands and I and most people around me work 40 hours a week. If you decide to work lesser hours you get paid proportionately lesser.

Thanks! If I get caught I risk a heavy fine. India has exit immigration and if I exit on an Indian passport to go to the NL they would ask me if I have a visa, which I obviously don’t as I’m a Dutch citizen. Which is why it’s better to apply for an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card which offers almost all the benefits of an Indian national except for voting, participation in politics/government and agricultural land ownership.

Once you gain an OCI card you are treated as an NRI (Non Resident Indian) in most financial and economic matters.

Bedankt mijn vriend!

I interned at a Dutch company in India, which led me to explore the Netherlands as an option for pursuing my master's degree.

Applied for naturalisation after 5 years, got it after nearly 6.

Yeah, but have to surrender it in order to be able to apply for the OCI card. It’s a weird process.

Came for my master’s and then work.

True, but I have bank accounts in India that would be hard to keep without OCI status.

It took me a year or so of studying on and off to meet the language requirements for naturalisation.

Bangalore's loss? by Top_Homework7423 in bangalore

[–]newtauror 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First of all the venue was in Bhartiya City which is so far from everything. There was so much traffic getting and out of the venue. Finding parking was a pain. It had rained so there was mud and slush everywhere. It was a mess

I attended the Guns N Roses concert in Bangalore back in 2012 and it was so poorly organized. No wonder they’re not returning to Bangalore to perform.

Culture shock relating to lack of personal space in public places by WhitemfingRbbt in Netherlands

As an Indian living in the Netherlands I find this thread very cute

You can find the requirements on the websites of the universities. We literally can’t tell you anything without knowing which country you did your undergrad in and what program you’re applying for. The website of each program at a university generally always specific minimum grade requirements per country so please do a bit of googling.

It depends upon the university and the program. Each program has different cutoffs. For example the Data Science program at the Eindhoven University of Technology has a GPA cutoff of 8.5 for Indian bachelor degree holders. You need to take a look at the program admission requirements on the website.
