7 WAYS to move to the Netherlands for Americans | Expat in Amsterdam

Hey, I really would love to move to Amsterdam but I have no one that’s ever done so, so im new to the process is there any tips on how to get a visa or how to move there

I would really like to the Netherlands from the US because of so many things that are going on here that I can’t handle anymore. The biggest reason is that I’m a 64 year old visually impaired man, and the United States is not set up for people who are blind and visually impaired. It just isn’t, and I have trouble coping with it anymore. I want to be in a place that I can walk to everything I need, I can bike to everything I need, and I can use the transit services to everything I need. All without fear of being hit by a car, shot, or any number of other things that go on in this country. Is it possible for somebody like myself to be able to move there permanently? To put it in blunt terms, the US is so incredibly hostile to the blind and visually impaired, it isn’t even funny.

With the business option does anyone know if it works for a preexisting business?

LMAO worst democratic nation in Europe.

What a beautiful woman

Thanks for this video. Do you need to show revenue or profit to have a legitimate business under the DAFT? I know it will take one to two years before a business really generate net income, but will the Dutch tax authority permit this with a grace period?

Hey i have a question about the DAFT, I've been wanting to open up a café sort of business in the Netherlands but I've heard the daft only takes new and innovative businesses, but when you said the cup cake shop it really stoked my hopes of having that dream come true.

honestly I'm about to graduate from college and I kind of wish that I had trained in a "highly skilled" field instead of studying art... don't get me wrong, I am a good painter, but it's tough to move with this. It just feels like the US keeps getting worse for normal people...women... gay people... everyone.

USA is awful 😣

Hi Jessica, I live in the US, but i am 1000% Dutch and we actually plan to come back to live there in the next few years. both my daughters were born here but we were married in the Netherlands and have a international marriage licence. so how hard or easy would it be for us to move back here. my youngest daughter actually has a dutch passport and my oldest does not. is this something you can answer for me.

what about uk citizenship?/ now that they have left w brexit

How did I miss DAFT? I'm 17 now, so I have some time to build my skills and savings, but I'll be freelancing as an ethical hacker. I'm going to get the hell out of here eventually. Thank you.

I mean it feels like the USA gives me around 2 reasons a month to not want to live here anymore. May's 2 reasons were doozies though, gotta say.

Thanks for this video! I had a question about the last one. If you arrived in the NL on a short stay visa and applied for the verification against EU law, how long did the application take to get approved and are you able to stay even after the short stay visa gets expired, whilst awaiting approval?

Lol it would be an absolute dream to move to the Netherlands

What small school did you go to?

I've been dreaming of moving to the Netherlands from here in the states for years now. Graduated with my bachelors back in spring of 2021 and tried applying for jobs with no luck. I'm currently applying for my masters to every university I can in the Netherlands. Here's hoping!

You can do the last option as a non-EU citizen of course. However, you absolutely can NOT work here in those three months.

EU citizens have it easier to immigrate to the Netherlands. However, if you don't have a job after 3 months, the Dutch government will ask you to leave the country. (Unlike the UK government did when were a member of the EU.)

I believe there are age restrictions for non-EU citizens. I don't think you can't come to retire here. But I am super sure about that.

Great video! For the last option of the 3 months, after you leave (when the 3 months is up), how soon can you return?

Thank You
