If you want to live in a place with elevators that continuously break down and literally have rainfall in heavy rain days, people hanging around the building without any security, stealing people’s deliveries, bike thieves, and a management that doesn’t give any concern on top of all that, come join the H2S life.

Thank you for this video. Could I have Charlotte’s contact information? I could not open her website.

Thank you for the video! As an expat, I've been struggling a lot in the Netherlands. After this info, maybe the sun will shine again in my career :)

Vroeger noemden we "smart" gewoon dom, sluisde je door naar de huishoudschool.....

The other platform to search for house to rent is “Holland to stay” ?

The one major thing I took away from this is it sounds as though Americans are incredibly daft want to go to the Netherlands and begin applying for jobs. I've never heard of someone submitting an 11-page Rhythm and I know that made him situation however, they harp on it being one page over here because they're not going to read past that. In addition, if you're not researching what other countries require versus what you've been submitting in your own country, in my opinion, that shows a major lack of lpgical reasoning. I can't begin to imagine why I would ever think submitting an American resume to another one's company would make any sense whatsoever. I think part of the trouble some Americans are going to have with submitting what they have done previously could also be because it's extremely difficult to find assistance with putting together a Dutch resume in the way the Dutch employers prefer. I've been searching for a year and a half and this is the first I've found of anything. I tried going to the website provided for Ms. Charlotte and it longer works and while searching online, found her LinkedIn page however, after logging in, it said she is not included in my network so I hit yet another dead end and am ack at square 0. Please help Tiffany

As a Dutch mom of two, it never occurred to me to visit the GP when I wanted to get pregnant, nor when I got pregnant. I went straight to the midwife's office. My GP only found out that I had been pregnant when he received my kid's birth announcements. I think it's pretty awesome that, in the Netherlands, healthy pregnancies and deliveries aren't heavily medicalised, like in most parts of the world. As long as a pregnancy and a delivery are developing normal and problem free, there is no medical problem. No doctor needed. It always makes me feel a bit angry when I hear about doctors having delivered the babies. Mothers deliver babies, even when the delivery takes place in a hospital. I feel very privileged and grateful for living in a country that has such a great support system for women who choose a natural delivery in the comfort of their own home.

A white lie is everyones best friend, everyone !

I don't understand... Why the negative title: is it "That Bad" in The Netherlands? What do you mean by "That Bad"??? The Netherlands is actually famous for having one of the BEST pregnancy and post pregnancy care in the ENTIRE WORLD! And many many immigrants like this woman come to The Netherlands to have children there.

As an expat do I need a BSN number to purchase a property in the Netherlands in those cases when no mortgage is required and when residency will be less than 90 days?

AMAZING OVERVIEW! Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks for your wonderful information

Thank you!!

This is the most valuable info and insight as a South African video editor not getting work here! Wow, how did this slip under my radar? I only found it after months of searching and then adding Netherlands and Dutch interview into my search terms. This be known under more expats, please! I will help :)

A home is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Jolanda is the type of real estate agent I would want working with/for me. I am a broker in the USA

This is really good, I'd love to see one specific for zzp'r

Informative video on many aspects. Box3 explanation had 2 inaccuracies: 1. savings assumed rate of return is 0.92% for 2023 and not 0.01% stated in the video 2. 100K equity in the house and 100K debt does not mean one has to pay (6.17-2.46)% of 100K x 32% as tax. There is also a calculation of Basis which in this case will be zero assuming no other investments/savings higher than 114k for fiscal partners

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you so much for creating this channel!!! I just graduated from the UK and I am planning to apply for the Dutch Orientation Year visa soon. I was wondering if you have Instagram? Would love to contact you there, your channel is so helpful to me! 😁❤️

So much useful information and this landed in my suggestion at the right time 🙂

This was a good overview. Despite living here for some years this talk helped me fill some of the gaps remaining.

Currently pregnant 8 month (in Amsterdam), the midwife contact was first surprising but supporting. It's true that I had very difficult pregnancy and also some depression. So I have just 2 midwife from the office because of my condition. I was also recommended for psychological health care. But yes it's very different compared Italy and Czech Republic that I can compare with my partner.

Thanks! Was interesting to listen to this cozy conversation

Wow, this was incredibly helpful!

Really enjoyed the conversation ❤. Thanks for bringing out such useful conversations. I would like to see a whole new episode in itself where an expert can talk more in detail about the box 3 taxes. I have recently ventured into investing in the stock market and would love to get more clarity on how the investments are taxed in the NL and get more insights into the numbers.

I rarely comment on KZbin but for this episode, i have to mention that this helped me a lot, i was going in circles suffering in the dutch market for 1 year now and i didn't land a job, everything mentioned gave a new perspective and helped a million time. Huge thanks everyone

This was so informative. I learned way more from this video than in al 10+ years living here. Thank you so much! 🥰 Please keep up this awesome episodes!

I think the part about migration form for tax return is only partially correct, at the moment is possible to submit it online under the name M form, still dutch only, but not 86 pages anymore.

Excellent information!

Ciao. Congratulations on the podcast! Keep going! Could you add a link to Arnold's services website? Grazie

In the Netherlands you are constantly robbed by the government! If you earn some extra money, you will be punished for it by means of extra taxes or levies! The Netherlands is tax technically for a citizen, the worst place to live and work! The government is one big corrupt gang of thugs!

I smell BS

Arnold is the best. All clearly explained.

are you from polimi?

Straight up opinion from a born and raised Dutchy here: Friendships: The Dutch in general have a very strong social connection among the people Dutchies grow up with, as in street mates (from the street you grew up in) schoolmates (yeah ;-) and maybe university mates. So we grow up getting to know these people from a very young age and usually these people tend to stick around your whole life; mind you these are all born and raised Dutch natives, speaking Dutch and later on in life (at around 12 years of age) we all get introduced to foreign languages like German, French and English. But just to set one thing very, very straight here: The fact that we obviously manage to speak a little foreign language, may give you easily the wrong impression that we are able to express ourselves in any foreign language at all. We may give you the impression that we know a few words in English, and that we are maybe even able to chitchat on a very superficial level, but when it comes down to serious conversations (you know the ones that go far beyond superficial chitchat) no other language but our own (Dutch) will prevail, since it really is Dutch and Dutch only in which we are able to fully express ourselves. And so the Foreigner we speak chitchat English to, and we speak Dutch (only!) among friends. So want to invade as a foreigner in long lasting friendship groups that exist for several decades among Dutch people the first and most important condition is to speak Dutch fluently. When you're lucky one person in such a group of friends will take the trouble to speak English to you, until a joke is made in Dutch and the whole gang will speak Dutch to each other again, that also goes for the person whom previously took the trouble to speak a little English to you. So there you are as a English speaking person in a room full of Dutch people talking Dutch to each other. Strange..? No, not really, this is The Netherlands after all and one speaks Dutch here. Religion: well The Dutch (as a Global Trading Nation) found out the hard way that it most certainly is a disadvantage to be religious, since Religion is going to hinder you in doing business over the entire Globe. The vast majority of the people in The Netherlands is Non-religious and the number of religion leavers and church leavers is ever growing and so it will not take that long before being religious is going to be very exceptional here. In fact even talking about religion is not done here and is considered to be offensive to other people and to be very personal, to be compared with talking about your personal s@x life, like for example how many s@x-partners you have had and what you performed with them, You just don't do that.

thank you so much for making such detailed videos. i guess you are a foreigner who graduated from italy (i did my master's in rome, i am a turkish citizen) did you have the diploma, diploma supplement and transcript translated into dutch or did you have no problem because it was in english? i had a hard time because i don't understand the system here very well and i don't speak italian. can you tell me what i need to do? sorry for the personal question. mernaz <3

These people sound like they've never worked a day in their lives

Theres a secret unlock tree that just called Artistic

Nah. There’s definitely also “dumb”

Thank you for guiding expats through making their life easier in the way of moving and living in the Netherlands. I appreciate lot! I recently had my orientation visa and moved to the Netherlands. Currently, I had a job offer from a Dutch company and I want to change my orientation visa to highly skilled migrant. So, what my company needs to do, which forms they need to fill to for this visa for me. Can you share your experiences? Thank you

Bullshit you learned English too,And Dutch is the close language to the English languages.

You don’t have enough with English YOU mast learn the language in the country where you live in.

I think if you migrate to another country as a foreigner to build a life there, then you should integrate yourself out of respect for that country and the population and learn the language. Even if you can make yourself understood in English

😎👍
