There are 2 possibilities; one work-based, the other family-based. For the work-based opportunity, it's doable, but only if there are vacancies in the Netherlands that can't be filled by somebody already resident there. For the family-based opportunity, your information tells me you're living in Belgium, so that would close that opportunity. The details of the requirements you need for the work-based opportunity are on the Dutch Government (IND) website; this link will take you there. Hope this helps

Hi and welcome to the Forum. A couple of points: As a new member, any links you post will be hidden until you have made 10 posts to the Forum. If you want people to contact you at this stage, then it's best to ask them to use the Direct Message function. I suspect you won't get much help; the Forum is more typically frequented by people who are trying to find a way to another country. Very few (if any) bother coming back once they have made it, which is the time when they would have made their mobile phone contract. I suspect very few people outside the Netherlands actually know who/what Ziggo is or does. Hope you do get some responses and that this has helped in some way

NRIPIO · Answer

Hi again, The latest advice in the Netherlands is that if your temperature is over 38 degrees celsius, you should contact your GP or municipal health service (GGD); you haven't said where you live, but this map (link) contains the locations and contact information for all of them. There is no cure for Coronavirus, you can only treat the symptoms, so drink plenty of water to keep hydrated and treat the high temperature (take some paracetamol). Hope this helps

Okay, I'll try to give this a shot. It's been a while since I got doctored at though, so please accept my apologies if I get some of this stuff hilariously wrong. - The healthcare system is structured to provide tiered access to medical services. If you're feeling ill, you can pay a visit to your friendly local General Practitioner (Huisarts). They will hopefully after some prodding, poking, and saying aaaah, diagnose you and tell you what to do next. Usually this means writing out a receipt you can take to a pharmacy to hook you up with medication of some kind, or an introduction to a medical specialist experienced with your particular illness. If the huisarts cannot determine what ails you, they can send you to a hospital for access to more advanced diagnostic equipment. This cycle of either diagnosing an ailment and sending you off for treatment, or passing you up to the next tier continues up to the university hospitals where they can throw lots of science and expensive machines at you. Not sure what you mean by efficient. Most patients and treatments do not escalate beyond the huisarts/pharmacy level, so pretty efficient, I guess? There is sometimes a waiting list for non-critical surgical procedures since the universities cannot teach enough students because studying medicine takes forever and ever and ever. You will be an old man before you finish the study, even if you're a woman. - Unlike regular healthcare system described above, the public health sector does not usually get involved with individual patients. They are tasked with monitoring and improving the well-being of society as a whole, or large groups of people. They keep track of infectious diseases, monitor air pollution levels, give out vaccinations, stuff like that. If they are ever interested in you as more than a statistic you may be Patient Zero, so try to avoid that. - Considering it is illegal not to have health insurance, I would recommend buying some. If you are too broke to pay for it, contact the Tax Office and they'll send you money to pay for it depending on your income. I think you may be able to get around it if you're only here to study for a while, but you should ask your school just in case. If you live here illegally the state will pay for your healthcare with my taxes, so please don't get sick. Sorry about the wall of text. My english isn't very good. Hope you enjoy your stay

Daan Levi · Answer

The Netherlands is one of the countries with high food quality index. NL comes under the top 10 in food quality. I think it's ranked 6th out of all the countries in the global ranking. Even though NL is a small country, it is the global powerhouse in agriculture and technology. It stands second in exporting agricultural products after the U.S
