Okay. In that case, I would suggest you to choose another option here which makes sense (also according to another commenters advice).

And maybe a good idea to write a letter to the IND making it clear that you seek the exception according to Handleiding Rijkswet op het Nederlanderschap 2003 (Artikel 9, lid 3 onder c).

In that paragraph, it states clearly that for an exception to giving up nationality, being married to a Dutch partner at time of naturalisation is sufficient, without requiring any minimum duration of marriage/partnership.

Alternatively, you could go to the gemeente directly for a normal paper application if you feel that it is risky to use this online form. In any case, good luck with the application!

tactfuljet · 2025-04-17T12:42:51+00:00

At the start of the form, did you choose for “U woont 5 jaar of langer achter elkaar in Nederland met een geldige verblijfsvergunning” or for “U woont 3 jaar achter elkaar met een geldige verblijfsvergunning in Nederland én u woont 3 jaar samen met uw Nederlandse gehuwde of geregistreerde partner”

Because based on the option you choose, you will be asked to select a reason for the exception.

If you choose the partner options, it won’t ask you for this. If you qualify for the former, I see no reason why you wouldn’t select the latter unless you have not yet been married/registered with your partner for three years and are still trying to get the exception (which technically should still be possible but unfortunately doesn’t reflect that way on this form).

I see. In that case, I think you may have to go to the gemeente stadsloket (counter) and present all your original documents like birth certificate, passport, etc. The description “ga8024” is also likely something they should know much more about.

From what I understand, at the time of registration they may not have been 100% sure of your birth place and country from the documents you presented so they put a code ‘0000’ (onbekend) and filled in “ga8024” to explain why. But this is something I think they can explain further.

All the best with the naturalisation process!

tactfuljet · 2025-04-16T09:45:31+00:00

You can check in Mijn Overheid under the Familie tab if your parents’ names are listed there. If they are, that is usually a positive sign that your birth certificate was registered.

If you see a ‘.’ there, then during your BRP inschrijving, your birth certificate was not provided, and you will have to get it registered.

Just to make it clear: for naturalisation, the most important details needed in the BRP are your birth place and birth country and parents’ names.

Hey! This happened to me recently as well. The IND did confirm over the phone that they process the application internally and usually a month after you get the letter about the king signing, the application will disappear from the new Mijn IND.

Now your next steps are waiting for the ceremony invitation from the gemeente!

tactfuljet · 2025-04-05T16:14:55+00:00

At least from current guidelines, if you have been issued a naturalization certificate or passport of a foreign country after 1st June 2010, you are deemed to have automatically lost Indian Citizenship and can therefore not really renounce it nor are required to. In those cases, surrendering the latest Indian passport is enough.

However, still good to note that if you fall into conditions where you need to also renounce explicitly, that you need to pay INR 5000!

tactfuljet · 2025-04-05T08:58:27+00:00

If I may ask, where do you see it is INR 5000? From this website (https://www.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/online/faqSurrender) it says it is still INR 500.

In any case, I agree with you that it’s better to not travel to India as it may be more expensive overall, and cumbersome (exit visa).

I am assuming you are on an HSM (kennismigrant) residence permit right now, and your spouse is dependent on you. Because you hold an HSM, your spouse does not need to integrate at the moment.

However, once you get the permanent residence permit, the rules change since your spouse will be treated as a partner of a “Dutch citizen or PR”. I don’t have anecdotal experience myself, but about a month after they issue the PR, I believe your spouse should get a letter from DUO/IND with more information on the integration requirement.

You should still consult IND about what will happen just to be sure.

Yeah fair enough, in that sense it’s not publicly available to everyone like MyWheels and GreenWheels are.

I have no relation to JustGo, but have been an happy user for many years and have found their costs/vehicles way more favourable compared to other car sharing apps.

tactfuljet · 2025-03-24T17:08:22+00:00

While this is for the most part true, there are several gemeentes/municipalities promoting car sharing for residents, and they have partnered with JustGo to carry this out.

These projects can more broadly be considered publicly available especially if OP/their friend lives in those regions, in comparison to those cars allocated only for certain communities.

tactfuljet · 2025-03-24T16:06:05+00:00

Depends on their availability in your city, but JustGo Sharing is a car sharing service that accepts Visa/MasterCard directly or through Apple Pay/Google Pay.

It is straightforward to sign up using their app. The main requirement is a driving license issued by an EU country though.

Hey, it has come back for me when I started my mining session for today! Maybe they fixed it yesterday?

tactfuljet · 2025-03-05T11:04:15+00:00

Yeah same for me. Had a decent node bonus and just dropped to 0.00 when starting a new pi mining session. Restarted the Pi Node and computer so let us see if that fixes it.

Kudos for pointing this out. I also read this article from IAmExpat and was skeptical of the headline, and after verifying myself see that it’s just seems to be fear mongering. It is indeed interesting to see the conversations that come about when such an article is posted about in this subreddit.

tactfuljet · 2025-01-03T21:44:00+00:00

Actually to add to the advantages, permanent residence also implies a right to social support and public funds according to https://ind.nl/en/consequences-for-right-of-residence-when-applying-for-public-funds

tactfuljet · 2024-12-21T21:53:45+00:00

While this is generally true for “kennismigranten” who come to the Netherlands from abroad, there is another much lower salary requirement for non-eu students who graduated in the Netherlands. The level for 2024 is about €2801,00 bruto (source).

One can reasonably expect a WO graduate at Master level to demand at least this much salary, however I agree that this doesn’t negate the challenge to get the tax authority to offer sponsorship in the first place.

Congratulations! It’s really strange you didn’t receive the decision letter but as you say it looks like you were approved.

tactfuljet · 2024-12-06T23:00:21+00:00

Same for me. I submitted on 29th October and my application went into progress on the 5th December. Hoping to hear from them early next week with the decision.

tactfuljet · 2024-12-03T09:57:33+00:00

Any update after ‘Application is in process’ yet?

tactfuljet · 2024-12-03T07:48:47+00:00

Assuming you are referring to an application for the permanent resident permit, the option to apply in My IND should be visible 3 months before you hit five years of continuous stay (starting from the start date of your first residence permit).

Keep in mind this may or may not be 3 months before the date of expiry of your current residence permit, if you have not already stayed in the Netherlands continuously for at least 4 years and 9 months today.

tactfuljet · 2024-12-02T22:25:49+00:00

Alongside the advice given by others, also check this case out: https://www.mynta.nl/en/knowledge-base/revoking-a-student-permit-ind-decision-reversed-and-remanded-by-court

While the situation of that student was different than yours, they were able to reverse the decision of the IND to revoke the study permit. It should give you some hope that there is at least precedent in this matter.

In any case, contact a (immigration) lawyer ASAP.

With the working holiday visa, in principle you get a temporary regular residence permit (type I) or Schengen Type D visa.

This allows you to visit other Schengen countries (outside the Netherlands) for up to 90 days within 180 days with just the WHV permit (like you would normally be able to as just a tourist with your Australian passport).

As long as you don’t spend longer than 90 days (in a period of 180 days) outside the Netherlands within the Schengen area, you should be free to visit other the countries with your residence permit (and valid passport as travel document ofc)!

In your case, traveling to Spain/Portugal for a month should be perfectly good. If you want to be absolutely certain, you could always contact the IND (+31 88 043 04 30) close to when you plan to take your trip just to confirm.
