Post by craig bell »

:D hi all im off to the dam on the 16 oct. and was going out there to have a look at work and flats as well as my leisure (lol) now i read a post by a guy from new zeleand and he was finding it hard to get a job and a flat because he was from nz and on a visa and to get a job u need ur tax code but to get ur code u need an address this is where he found it tricky as he coulnt get an address becauce landlords want to know about ur employer which he didnt have as her didnt have tax code anyway my point is would this be any different coming from the eu as u dodt need a visa :D would be grateful for any advise on this

If you're an EU citizen,then you're ok to move to any EU Country...The only necessity is to report that you're living there within 14 days ? i think...some one will know more...I'm looking into it myself...

I'd imagine you'd have to speak dutch to do a job like social worker over there.

Well, it is not common to work when stoned...
Anyhow, you need to speak (basic) Dutch for a job. Excluding working at tourist places.

There are some companies and workplaces that do not require you speak dutch. They might be few and far between but they do exist. There are even some employment agencies that specialize in non-dutch speaking jobs. Some companies actually advertise for people that speak foreign languages; ie German, French, etc. It never hurts to try. :D
