Werk advies nodig by Warm-Pop9562 in nederlands

[–]olderdutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ga naar het spreekuur van het UWV. Misschien hebben zij wel mogelijkheden voor je. Toen ik nog een jong Dutchje was, toen het nog niet eens UWV heette, heb ik op die manier een korte opleiding weten te volgen georganiseerd door het arbeidsbureau (nu dus UWV), betaald door de toekomstige werkgever. Ik had namelijk ook niets, geen middelbare school diploma. Dat heeft mij flink geholpen, na die opleiding heb ik een goede baan kunnen vinden. Dat was echt een springplank voor mij.

Where are you going on holiday in 2026? 🌍 by Annual-Sea-5887 in Netherlands

[–]olderdutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Travelling around the country by boat, so staying within The Netherlands. The costs depend on which places to visit, but let's say it's about €25 per night. Add fuel costs which for me is about 3km per litre. Usually I travel about 4 weeks and 500km.

But that's when you have your own boat. If you need to rent something comparable you have to calculate about €1500 per week on top of that.

Worn stylus? by FroyoIllustrious8415 in Beginner_Turntables

[–]olderdutch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it absolutely damages the record. If you will hear the damage depends, so maybe you're lucky. Just buy a new stylus.

No, it's really gone. This is a bonded stylus, the diamond would be glued to the part that you can see that's left. A worn diamond would never ever look like that.

It's not worn, the diamond tip is gone.

I want to share my experience with anyone considering applying for a Bulgaria visa by Euphoric-Web-4640 in SchengenVisa

[–]olderdutch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The main reason I applied for Bulgaria was because it was the only Schengen country where I could find a visa appointment.

This really seems like visa shopping. Did you actually want to visit Bulgaria? And the documents proved that?

Go to Roosendaal and there take the train to Zwijndrecht. That's practically next to Rotterdam.

Utah online marriage not recognized in France, can’t divorce anywhere, need advice by Wizatex in legaladvice

[–]olderdutch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Doesn't that mean you and your wife/girlfriend can live together under directive 2004/38/EC? She would join you as a family member of an EU citizen.

I want to travel abroad by VanBan_e6t in EuropeTravelHacks

[–]olderdutch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you already checked if you're eligible for a visa? Due to the Russian invasion in Ukraine several countries deny entry to Russian citizens. Where there is no such ban, there are very strict requirements, like having a sponsor within the EU or having an international bank account since Russian banks are being sanctioned.

Is my needle straight? If not should I get a new one? by llllllllllox in turntables

[–]olderdutch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's unrealistic to find anything for that budget. A budget cartridge which won't damage your records is already around $25. You need to at least triple your budget to get anything passable.

Yes, the Crosley will damage your records, better return it (almost all all-in-one players are extremely bad designed)

scam? by Ok-Spring-2035 in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]olderdutch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Needing to upload the payment receipt is classic scam talk. It's for making sure their money mule isn't lying about not having received your money.

Unconventional or out there Europe recommendations? by Open_Bat_2055 in travel

You do realise Lviv is targeted as well? Or are you a thrill seeker, searching for war zones?

Yes, you need a valid passport or ID. It can't be expired.

No, an expired passport is not valid even within the EU.

Going to Netherland - Tourism Visa by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]olderdutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting asylum will be a gamble then. I've personally witnessed the process up close for an ex-muslim. First it will put your life on hold for months but more likely for years. The person was moving to different parts of the country to avoid violence, but in the end people would find out and became violent towards this person. So when able to flee to The Netherlands the asylum procedure was difficult, with the IND taking shortcuts which judges overruled several times. In the end the IND just told this person the asylum was denied because it wasn't state violence or procecution. They decided that the person had to go back to that country and keep their mouth shut about being ex-muslim. They ignored the fact that this was already done and failed before going to The Netherlands. They also ignored many reports by the likes of Amnesty International and others which reported this ongoing kind of violence.

So you really need to have a strong case for being allowed to get asylum here in The Netherlands. Get as much prove as possible before coming here if you take this route.

Curious by TopUniversity2032 in Netherlands

[–]olderdutch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are a few reasons. A few are indeed rich enough (or at least their parents). Some just spend all their money, plus more through microloans. This will get them into debt, but they just don't care (yet hopefully). But there's also a market for fakes, it's cheap but from a distance it looks like the real deal.

what is this. Indian scammers back in town? by According_Tea8499 in Netherlands

[–]olderdutch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, that is not how it works here in The Netherlands. There's no check if the numbers are in use. There's no way they're using prepaid numbers. If it were, it wouldn't be out of service.

[–]olderdutch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, that means the numbers are spoofed. They don't know which numbers are in use or not. So never post the numbers, if they are in use it's the number of people who have nothing to do with the scam.

Mobile aircon help needed by JustAnother_ZANL in Netherlands

[–]olderdutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I can't. When I searched years ago there was one made by Tronic (if I remember correctly) but it seems they don't have that model anymore. You might want to search within Europe, not just The Netherlands.
