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.
Those who have shifted recently to the Netherlands in August through an HSM visa, what are you doing for BSN? My appointment is in November, and as per my organization, they can’t roll out my salary until I have BSN. Is there any workaround?
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.
I had sent my application to surrender the Indian Passport, and all required documents to the VFS centre by PostNL registered post. I checked the track and trace code, and it shows that my post was delivered on July 5th to the VFS office. But I haven’t heard anything from them or received any email or information on my application status. Is this normal? Does it take this much time? I tried to check my application status on the VFS website, but it requires some DHL tracking code which I don’t have. Do I need to contact the VFS to check the whereabouts of my documents?
Has someone applied for a Brazil or Argentina Tourist Visa with an Indian Passport (& Dutch residence permit) sitting out of Amsterdam? I need some assistance.
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?
I am receiving a package of personal items from India via India Post. I was wondering if any customs duty/taxes will be levied.
I am a PhD student and must apply for an extended stay visa (MVV) at the embassy. IND has already approved my application. I tried to book an appointment online, but it shows no dates available. VFS told me I had to contact the embassy directly for a long stay, so I sent them an email. Is there any other way to get an appointment?
How many days on an average does it take for Delhi embassy to stamp and send the passport back with MVV?
