Thanks for the interview Gulce! It was a pleasure to sit down with you and share the story of Assist NL!

[@MakingitinHolland]

We’ll definitely be chatting again in the following period. Pleasure having you inside the channel. Looking forward to seeing Assist NL take off. 😊

[@TheSimArchitect]

It's very nice for them to provide this service for new immigrants. Having someone here surely makes life WAY easier. I am very thankful to my Dutch friend that helped me with essential stuff like housing, registration and other essential things.

[@MakingitinHolland]

Definitely! I think Assist NL will become very popular very soon among the younger crowd especially who are moving to NL soon. It’s for sure very helpful to have a buddy who knows the way around to help you out.

I won an OKP scholarship to study my master's degree at Erasmus University and I am moving to Rotterdam in September. I am so glad I found your channel, it has been very helpful!! :)

[@ellenclark5384]

You’re both great communicators! Sounds like a great and thoughtful service! Hmm maybe I should move to Rotterdam 😬

[@MakingitinHolland]

Thank you for your lovely comment Ellen. Maybe you should move to Rotterdam! Haha! 😀 🙃

[@noellabaptiste8311]

omg this is so helpful! finding housing has been a big worry when my partner and i think of moving there so Assist NL would be a big help!

[@MakingitinHolland]

They are doing a wonderful thing! Definitely would recommend booking a quick call with them to see how they can help you. 😊

[@TheSimArchitect]

Yes! Housing is the hardest thing to find here (if you are an EU citizen, not sure about others, they might have a harder time getting a visa like I had when I considered moving to Canada a decade ago)

@@TheSimArchitect getting a visa here as a student was relatively straightforward at least for me as an Egyptian. Unfortunately, other practicalities are not as easily taken care of but that’s why we’re here!

[@TS-gw7gn]

This video showed up in the perfect timing! Thank you both! This was very informative. I'll check all the links but for now, do you only help students or can you for example help a family with little children moving to the Netherlands? And may I ask about the legal stuff dealing with immigration and such? Can you help with that?

[@MakingitinHolland]

Hey there, Karim will get in touch with you with the details. Thank you for watching.
