It is always best to file you returns prior or before the end May 1st. If you need extra days to file return then you must request for an extension

On King's Day, the Netherlands has outdoor activities, including street markets, concerts, and parties. People gather in the streets, parks, and canals to sell second-hand items, enjoy live music performances, and celebrate together. It is celebrated in the Netherlands as a national holiday to foster a sense of community and celebrate Dutch culture and heritage

Fouad Badawy · Answer

I'm going to answer this question from an Undergrad student in the Netherlands. The problems faced during your Masters or MBA may be different. 1. For an Average Indian, studying abroad is expensive. Netherlands is cheaper when you compare it with the UK, Canada, and US. But, you may still feel the pressure at times. 2. Language Barrier after the duration: the Netherlands is a very diverse nation and due to its proximity with Uk. Almost everyone can speak and understand English perfectly. But, when you start searching for jobs. Dutch becomes compulsory in the majority of the jobs. Mostly, IT people can get away with English. 3. You will meet a lot of European in your UNI, but don’t expect too much. Once, you leave the classroom, they won’t mix up that easily. This can change, if you put an effort yourself, you may be able to break the barrier. Especially, in your Bachelors, it gets harder with age. 4. Sometime you may miss your family and friends and you regret your decision. You will face a lot of challenges, you will be pushing your boundaries all the time. These situations will prepare you for a better future. But, you will regret your decision and feel depressed in your early days. Sometimes, the culture shock hits you hard when you are alone, in a foreign land. 5. Food - Dutch food is famous for not being good Haha! Just learn how to cook and you will be fine. Everything is available in supermarkets. Eating out is expensive anyway, there is no way you can do that all the time. 6. Temperatures- Can be cold at winters! It's not like in Canada, but it still gets cold for an Indian person

Question 5

My brother is trying to transfer money from his Indian bank account to my Dutch account using Wise but he gets a message that the money will first be put into RBL bank account before it gets transferred to mine. Whereas when I did the transfer from my Dutch account to Indian NRE account, mine was transferred in two Seconds. Did anyone here experience the same?

You have to transfer it to their account with the reference added. The first transaction takes some time. Thereafter it's much quicker

Question 6

Recently I applied Visa for my father to visit me in the Netherlands. Today he received his Visa. I found that my father’s name was written twice on the stamp. On my father’s passport Surname is blank. His First name is “Chaitanya Kumar”, and the printed name on the Visa stamp is “Chaitanya Kumar, Chaitanya Kumar”. Will that be an issue?

Question 7

How recently should a document be apostilled for the 1st registration at any municipality in NL? I called the Amsterdam municipality, and they said it doesn’t state how recently it should have been legalised/apostilled, so even an old one should be fine. I am not sure if the case is different with each municipality. I have one with me that was apostilled more than a year ago.

Question 8

We are shifting to the Netherlands from India. I just wanted to get suggestions on the international roaming for Indian Sim. We found Airtel’s annual international plan, which costs 15k for the year. Is there a way to keep my number Active and have incoming SMS? Do let us know if you have better suggestions.

Prabhu Kumar · Answer

You don't need to buy international roaming plan. It will be way too expensive. Buy a local prepaid sim in Netherlands and use for your local and data purposes. By default, international roaming is enabled on airtel so you will get signal but just don’t pick or dial calls from airtel sim. Also, don’t use data from airtel sim. Use data from local sim and use WhatsApp of India number for calling India or receiving calls from India

Question 9

I’m planning to buy an apartment for my parents in India. I have some cash saved. But confused if I should opt for a home loan or use the money already in some fixed deposits. I heard about tax benefits for loan repayments, but as we aren’t under that category, what should an NRI consider? Are there interest differences for NRIs? Could someone please give me some insights? TIA

You staying in Netherlands? What’s your plan for India? (Want to stay long in NL or India) if not staying in India take Cash and use it …. why to pay interest… if you plan to go back to India, take loan. once you go to India invest remaining cash for Property or you can do vice a versa … if you have Euro then it is not good time to convert euro to INR
