Can I come to Netherlands with you? I am sick of Australia and I enjoy riding bicycles.


Can I come to the Netherlands with the two of you? I am sick of America and I also enjoy riding bicycles.


Can I have your apartment when you leave?


Sure, if you don't mind living in a place where cost of living is inflated to Bay Area levels.


That's mainly a problem for people that can't look further than Amsterdam. Which is not by far the nicest place to live (or visit) in the Netherlands, anyway. It's not the worst place (that's Emmeloord), but randomly picking another spot won't hurt.


Any recommendations? Based on the little I've seen of the country I'd say Rotterdam is my favorite place to visit, but if I was moving there I'd probably settle on Utrecht


Utrecht is indeed great and really pretty. It's where I usually take people visiting NL, cause I always feel like a tourist myself when in Amsterdam, plus it's only 15-20 minutes by train.

Rotterdam is so huge that it really depends where you look :) I've heard an equal amount of love and hate stories :)

And other recommendations ... as I try to think of some, I realize it's pretty much a list of the rest of medium-large cities in the Netherlands. Unless you don't like cities, in which case maybe check out a tourist or bicycle guide. Try the province of Friesland for some real pretty non-city places? But there's so many others, just pick a spot, any spot, then Google it. The Netherlands isn't that big ;-)


Can I go with the three of you?

I am from Brazil and want to go anywhere but here (or countries like here...)

I even did some interviews for companies in Amsterdan but they didn't went well :(


Can I go with the four of you?

I am Venezuelan and let me tell you, this country is the anus of the world and we don't even have toilet paper.

Please be compassionate.


When you four arrive I'll give you a tour in the city!

Disclaimer: I'm from Amsterdam ;)


I suspect the easiest way for you would be to get a job in Portugal. Once that's done live/work there for 6 years for the naturalization. At that point you can just use your Portuguese ID card to live and work anywhere within the EEA; visas, immigration laws and work permits will never be a concern again.


My sister is trying to figure that out I believe.

I have a portuguese grandpa (as in, actually from Portugal), my family even owned stuff in portugal, but somehow all the documents proving it disappeared. My sister and some cousins will try to figure it out, if that fails option B is travelling to portugal in person to ask for a copy of the documents there, if that fail, then getting a job in Portugal and hope they will give a citizenship...

But seriously, most of my family that are portuguese descent are retretting that their ancestors left Portugal and want to return to Europe, even with all the crisis there, it is still better than Brazil (or most other south-american countries).


Boa sorte!
