Thank you so much. What happens if my orientation year in Netherlands expires and I couldn't get a job?

i already have four years of graduation time do I still have the chance to apply for the visa

Hi, can you please check the video? it doesn't work. Hopefully you can fix it or reload it again as I really need to watch it. Thanks

So this evaluation needs to be done even before one book appointment for the orientation visa

Please may i get your email?

Thank you for the video. It is quite informative.

Thank you for making this series, it was very informative. Can you please list some facebook & reddit groups which helped you to settle in and find your job.

Hi I am applying for orientation year visa , to book an appointment for biometric at embassy in my country do I need to select MVV employment or MVV highly skilled migrant? Thank you!

so please some questions, i hope that you can answer me: 1- the starting date of the orientation year visa is the day you enter the NL or from you appointment date? as they mentioned that the visa started the day you applied. 2- can i inform the ind with "fake" i mean late entrance date and hence get extra month of my visa? for example i inform them that i'll enter on the 1st of september but actually i'll go there by 1st of august? can i still enter the NL even i told them this late entrance date?

Hi, i have commented on the next video, but do i have to prepare the Nuffic credential evaluation and get the final evaluation paper before I apply for the orientation tear visa? Or can i just fill out and submit the application and send all the documents later for the access. I am quite running out of time now.. so i am bit worried if i cannot get all the required documents before I apply…

Hi, thank you for this video. It really helps me to go through this orientation visa alone. Yet, i have a question 10:12 , so i graduated the top 200 university in the world and also from English speaking country, i do still need the Nuffic’s international credential evaluation paper right?? I am running out of time right now so i might gonna request this paper before i apply for this visa… the website they indicated is providing the service i think and i have to pay for the service.. idk it works like that. Cuz Nuffic said that the procedure will take like 4-6 weeks. If it’s not necessary then i will just copy my diploma.. hope you can give me some answers. Thanks.

Which University ??

Hey, thanks for the information, do you think data science/analytics is a good field in the NL? For someone with a master's in DS and less than a year of experience who speaks english, spanish and italian.

2021 Update: The process described in this video is now outdated. You now only need to create an account online and submit the application via the account. No need to have your University send your credentials. Visit www.idw.nl/en/procedure-EN.html for the masters procedure

Thank you for doing this. I can only see an option of applying online. Can you please share the application form? Also, I don't see where does it mention sending the transcript directly from the university? I can't seem to find that either. Would appreciate your answers

can i bring my spouse with me during my orientation program ? if yes what is the procedure ?

Many thanks for sharing this insights .

I experienced that challenge of biometrics and my photo missing in the system thus delaying time to get my residence permit.

Hi ... how are you? I finished my study currently in Malaysia as an international student, and I’m eligible for Dutch orientation year visa, My question is since i will apply from Malaysia...

hey, i got my passport with the MVV sticker on it today. i am trying to look for a job but if i dont find anything am i allowed to do a part time job with this visa?

My college is not listed in the top 200 educational institution, but the programe that approved it is the same as the ones recognized (QQI Programe Ireland). In addition, Nuffic recognised my diploma as a higher diploma in The Netherlands. Do you think immigration will consider Nuffic's Evaluation though? Thanks

whats your area?

Thank you for sharing your experience. All the 8 videos are very helpful, I'll recommend them to the others who are applying like me.

Hey, I wonder if you can tell me the way I am checking my university ranking is correct or not. I checked my ranking on shanghairanking.com. I chose communications as the subject and the year I graduated in. Is that the correct way to check it ? Or should I check the world rankin gn overall and not by subject.

Hi I can see in your video that you managed to get a job in the Netherland during your Zuck year. I see that you are an english speaker and not a dutch speaker. But is it possible to work in the netherland even if you don't speak a single word in deutch? Are there any companies out there recruiting non detuch speaking international candidates? Thx

Hello! Thanks for the info. I wanted to know what happened afterward, did you transfer to another visa?

Mate after how many days did you get your evaluation done?

Hello Paul, I loved all of your videos, just had a quick question: After how many years we get the PR for Netherlands, If we come via Zoekjaar Visa. Thanks

Greetings man, thanks for the video, really informative. Just a quick question, is the orientation year visa is the same as Search Year visa? and also, do you apply by yourself or through agent, and how much did you pay for the fees? cheers.

So your one year visa starts on the date that you tell the Dutch Embassy appointment? So you have your appointment with your country's Dutch Embassy after you get your approval letter, there you will get the visa in your passport, do they decide when your one year time starts, or you can give them a start date?

Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy to learn about, and share, the experiences of other zoekjaar fellows. I'm definitely sharing this on my website: www.zoekjaargirl.nl/

Hi Man, kudos on the video series, it was very informative. I've got some couple of questions. 1. Can one apply for the visa and get it delivered via email or post to another country. For example, applying from the UAE and getting it delivered to Canada because your visa for the UAE would expire in say less than two weeks? 2. Is it possible to apply for the Zoekjaar from within the Netherlands on a Schengen visa? I look forward to your quick response at your earliest convenience, I need to make a quick decision on the time left on my visa.

Hi! Thank you for your videos, I applied for the Orientation Year and got accepted. I was confident that I would get the visa, but the waiting period was stressful.
