I don't think he's very old, I'd hazard a guess that he is not over 16...

Does any1 Know exact the criteria required to live in the Netherlands?

European Passport, or be VERY highly skilled. Most countries have similar policies, basically Teachers/Doctors/Surgeons are welcome. If you just want to work in a CS you got no chance unless u get married to a European or are at Amsterdam university. correct me if im wrong

Nice1 m8
I tick all the boxes and the missus is a teacher.
But i still prefer to holiday i think. Its like having an extra christmas 3 times a year
plus i would not want to work in a CS it would do my head in but would end up spending all day in them toking away until i die.
good info m8 thanks

Members of the EU can live and work in Holland without any qualifications/skills.

I know but your post is making out that unless you have a skill you have little chance and what about the bollocks regarding working in a coffeeshop, where does being married to a local or be at the Uni come into working in a cafe?

Edit: as far as the highly skilled jobs are concerned unless you work for an English speaking company you wont get anywhere unless you can speak dutch, the same going for a lot of the work, the only thing non-dutch speakers will be able to do are the tourist side of things like work in a coffeeshop/bar/hotel.

Boner, Non europeans do not have the right to work in NL unless they are married to a european or have a student visa or are highly skilled.

So, if you are say Brazillian for arguments sake you need a work visa to work anywhere in the NL. This could be from marriage to a european, a student visa (part time only) or being highly skilled.

I'm 18 once I finish hs would I be able to find a job and make it? I would live there untill mary j is no longer legal to smoke

Good or Bad idea?

well lets go back to the original post then shall we with what we have learnt so far.
M8 stay on get a good qualification in a required job sector to work in the netherlands, and learn to speak dutch.
Then your dream could become reality might take a bit of time so you can have many a holiday until the time comes.
Any1 want to add any more criteria?
And if your not an EU resident its a pain in the arse (Cheers 4 that boner)

Nice1
Hope your question has been answered SourDloveR

Kermit asked the question, he's from England so I was answering him, if I was from outside the EU I wouldn't bother as it's a lot of heart-ache and expense.

Fair enough Boner. I thought it was fairly widely understood that the EU allows the free movement of labour and goods.

[SourDLoveR]

Do not confuse sound advice with moaning and regret they didn't live life a little more dangerously.

None of us know what this lad is capable of he could go to the bright light's of Dam and make his millions.

Yup, you've got me there....but sitting here, on top of a bar in the heart of Amsterdam, where I call home....I can't help but wonder what my life would've actually been like if I'd have lived it a little more dangerously.

As for what this lad is capable of.....Well, he's asking people on a website to send him drugs.....I dunno, what does that tell you?.

Prolly should tell ya I didn't read the rules? Life aint perfect you don't know what Ive gone through so don't tell me what to do with my life I just asked a simple question about living there and you wanna bring other shit up?

crackhead

Sour this forum is people who want to share their stories and interests. We are good natured people and speaking for myself dont have much appreciation for insults. You may want to find another forum that more suits your interests and attitude. If you plan to hang around please grow up.

I understand about freedom of movement in the EU but was wondering if the Netherlands had specific criteria for any1 wishing to work and live as a resident in their country. Which i now know is sack all for europeans.
I thought you would at least have to go through some procedure but from whats been said you dont.
Thanks for the input it has been noted
