1) Marina, you're very generous in being so open regarding your family budget. Great! 2) I may have missed remarks on local taxes and waste. Well, you did mention that "wegenbelasting" for your car. That is a nationwide tax, but the province you're registered in can collect "opcenten" on that. Typical for the Netherlands may be the tax by the "waterschap" in whose region you live. This is the "municipality" that keeps the water in the polders at desired levels, and elections for their parliaments concur with those for the provinces. (Both tend to get little attention.) 3) If whatever burden or tax in the Netherlands should be "unreasonably" hard, there is likely to be some relief possible. Note that this word "unreasonably" is my own superficial summary. Like probably everywhere else, welfare used to be a matter for your religious group, your family, your trade. However, from the 1950s on (keyword: "Drees"), many welfare matters have been legally addressed by the national government, though things like local taxes remain with the local authorities, and so objections must be addressed to these primarily. (Jovie of Jovie's Home channel may already have covered the topic. I don't watch every installment of every subscription.)

Hi, Anton, basically the situation is strange here. 1 hour is 6-9 EUR, but they calculate the exact sum depending on your income. Also it differs whether you'd partner works. We have a combination of a pre-school and a nanny , also the international children get 8 extra hours a week for free for language learning reasons.

Was the car you’ve mentioned brought with you from your home country? If yes, how much have you paid for bpm tax (dutch vehicle tax)? Could you please give us more details about bpm? How much time did it took to you to obtain NL license plates to be able to hit the NL roads? You could do a new video on this topic. :)

Hi Marina! Thank you so much as this video has been so helpful. I'm planning to move to the Netherlands in August with my partner and our daughter who is 7 years old. I am currently job hunting but would like to set up my daughter in a good primary school already. What areas would you suggest for us to live in and what schools would you suggest for her? Our budget for our rent is around 1000-1500 a month. We're a Spanish-British family. Thanks so much!

Hi, Alexandra! I think, Almere will be great for you as it is also close to the main cities where you would probably land with your work. It might be Utrecht or Amsterdam but the property there is way more expensive than in Almere. And if your company provides you with a free travel card, it will be great to commute for you! The majority of neighbourhoods are very international friendly here and the main factor for you should be the distance from your future work and the cost of travels for you. The main property website is funda.nl ;)

What is meaning of Expat family .
@ronaldderooij1774
2 жыл бұрын
immigrant family. The word expat is commonly used for people working for a big company in some foreign country. They usually return after a few years. Immigrants usually want to have permanent residency. But nowadays the words expat and immigrant are the same, as "immigration" is a hot political topic and "expating" is not.

Hi, there are English schools, but they are expensive. Expat kids go to language schools first to integrate and learn Dutch and follow the school educational program. And this is for free.

They teach English from a very early age in Dutch schools. maybe not in preschool, but definitely grade 1 and onwards. Age appropriate of course, so perhaps not as full as "in-family-language".

Should I go one? In December we spend a lot off money not only for gifts but for clothes also..the money for the children doesn't not covered anything..I use to pay in till April this year baby milk, for 1 box Nutrilon 14€ weekly, diapers/ pampers 17€ I think weekly..not to say that they are good eaters that eat very healthy..so you have to have a lot off fruits and vegetables that they are not cheap at all. You don't make children for the government money that is wrong !
