Thanks so much for your suggestion! We'll definitely add this to the list ☺

The application for the 30% ruling needs to happen within the first 4 months from your start date. So you cannot apply for it after you've already been in the Netherlands and working for a year, I'm afraid! Your age doesn't matter for the 30% ruling application - it just affects the salary requirement. So if your salary is over the requested limit, you can still apply. Your employer's HR department should be aware of this. If they're not, you can always send them our way, as we also assist companies with these matters 🙂

The government is (once again) discussing these changes, so we'll know more after September 17th! When it comes to your savings/retirement accounts from abroad, it's probably wise to talk to a tax/pension advisor who specializes in US citizens living abroad 🙂 For example, BNC tax is great at what they do! www.bnctax.com/

Well, we have good news for you - the dog you see on the screen on 12:44 is really Pippin 😄 And you can see more of the dogs on our instagram account instagram.com/movetonetherlands

@@MovetoNL Ok, forgiven. Pippin is very cute 😊😊😊😊

You can switch between these two types of visas if necessary, yes!

Yes! You usually get a residency document that is valid for 5 years.

@@MovetoNL Thank you

That's true! The list of exemptions is quite exensive, that's why we haven't brought up all the criteria in the video 🙂 But it is definitely good to know!

Is it also the same for refugees who get the 5 years permit ? What should be done during the 5 year to get the citizenship?

@@manalkhater3771 Having an asylum permanent residence permit is one of the requirements to apply for naturalization in this case. Other requirements (like the inburgering exams) will depend on when you've arrived to the Netherlands. So the requirements will also depend on each person's specific situation.

You're most welcome! Yes, you're right - the Civic Integration Exam abroad is for the partner visa. It's not a requirement when applying for verification against EU law.

@@MovetoNL Thank you! I have another question: Can I renew the verification against Eu law after 5 years? In regards of the founds proof: is it enough the working contract and founds in the banking account or do I necessarily have worked the previews year to prove it? Thank you very much!

@@imanbamous8021 After 5 years, you can also be eligible for a permanent residency or Dutch citizenship, so there are options 😃 For this type of visa, the EU citizen needs to have an employment contract for a specific number of hours. But we can't advise on what's enough in terms of a proof of income without looking at your full situation.

Great question! If you'll already have the right to stay here on the partner visa, then there's no need to apply for the Highly Skilled Migrant visa (you should apply for just one at a time with these) But, if you get a job before you arrive to the Netherlands - then you might be eligible for the 30% ruling, which would help with both the tax and exchanging your driving licence :) You can check out our video or blog post called "Everything you need to know about the 30% ruling" for more details on the eligibility criteria!

So I don’t understand how am I supposed to get a job with sponsor visa if they didn’t even want to interview me 😢😢

@@citlalialvarezcadena4157So sorry to hear about your experience so far! When it comes to an MVV - this is just a document that allows you to enter the Netherlands (it's also called "authorization for temporary stay"), so it's not a residency/work permit in its own. When it comes to your job search, this depends on quite a few factors - like your industry, level of experience, the way you're applying... We don't specialize in the job search process, but we might be able to recommend a job coach depending on your specific situation. If you'd like that, you can email us with more information on what you're looking for.

Thanks so much! Let us know if there are specific topics you'd like us to cover 😃

@@MovetoNL maybe you can do a video on separate topics like sick leave and go in detail, what if company dr say ur fit to work but u dont agree, how likely a company dr will show up at ur door, can u be fired if ur on sick leave but was put on PIP before going on sick leave and then went sick directly after PIP?

@@TheCustomer Perfect timing - we actually have this topic lined up for two episodes in April! ☺ Adding your questions to the list!

Great question! If you sign the employment contract before moving to the Netherlands, then the address from your home country can and should be mentioned. This is another way of proving that you were hired from abroad. But if you only received the job offer before moving to the Netherlands, and the contract was signed after you've already found accomodations - then it would have your Dutch address instead. In either case, your employer would need to have your Dutch address.

Thank you very much for your clarification@@MovetoNL
