1. Sort out accommodation (rental market is competitive)
2. Figure out how you will get around (save for a bike)
3. Consider the language difference( you should be okay with English or German)
4. Have enough money to cover two months of living expenses as pay is monthly and at the end of the month
5. Have the right clothes for Dutch weather. It gets cold in winter and rains a lot.
6. Account for the cost of taking Dutch classes. Beginner classes are usually the most expensive and can be up to 1000 Euros.
7. Learn to swim. It's compulsory for children in the Netherlands to learn to swim so it's awkward for an adult who doesn't know how to swim.
On the language barrier as a native Dutchie I'd say in 70% of cases basic German could also help.
This is super helpful to know! Especially the cost factor of things

All your information is valid . Thank you so much .
You’re so welcome David 👌🏾
@@josphineogugua I sent you email but no response yet . Pls guide and assist me on how to migrate from 🇳🇬 to Netherland. I'll fund for my bills
Well thought out things to consider, I quite agree with you.
I waddled in the pool myself trying to master swimming but unfortunately I still do waddle.
Haha, I can imagine😆. You’re very brave to try to teach yourself, I just couldn’t even stand in water😆. I recently started swimming lessons and I’ve paid a lot for it😒
@@josphineogugua I had a few paid swimming lessons as well and tried a few times when on vacation with family but you don't just master this thing easily as a kid would do when you are already an adult. Kids would play with the water but I was frightened by it - " I no wan die for water ooh" 😀😄😁.
My humble advise to you, to help you master the pool would be - do away with the fears of water if you can.
@@josphineogugua You are so CHARISMATIC!!!!
@@josphineogugua thats the scam you got trapped into.
Adult lessons can be taken in most of the country for often less cost. Problem is you choose to live in the few provinces that are crowded with tourism. So now you pay tourism prices for every utility. from housing to swimming pools. you should know how that works.
If companies rent a expensive big city building with lots of tourism it means their cost of location is high, they will count that into their prices for you.
House same issue, almost all things even food, you have a store in a big city so the store cost more rent, so you pay more. It applies to everything. I call it the ignorant-immigrant illusion.
When people come here they often choose the worst locations based on popular destinations. While in reality this is a highly developed european nation. So everything here is nationwide implemented. smaller communities have it reduced but still in place. And with that comes lower cost of living and higher quality of living. more money to spend or less hours to work same cost of living.
But when you choose to live in Scam-province utopia Holland provinces or utrecht then you do that harm to yourself. thus is why i left my province and city Haarlem for a reasonable city Lelystad. for the reason its central, direct connection to north holland and utrecht and zwolle and a few more roads, cost of living is nearly 500 euro cheaper for me by myself. No way in hell im going back unless they stop the inflation for those provinces. Right now its stupid to promote North Holland, South Holland or Utecht (province).
Learn how to swim? As a swim instructor, I think I have mastered the basics of swimming. Might actually be a career option thank you for your advice
Hi thanks for your videos they are educative, please were do I go in Nigeria to process a visa for my brother, thanks
Thanks again
Thanks alot
Thank you for video.
Can you tell us what documents needed for one to move to the Netherlands? ( be it work visa or student or which is easy to get)
Thanks for these lovely videos. You and your family are so beautiful❤️. Please do you know any companies providing visa sponsorship to Netherlands?
Hi Theresa. Thanks for your complement. At the moment I do not know companies providing sponsorships. But you can find this information by searching online. Also check out this website www.welcome-to-nl.nl/
Wooow valuable content
👌
Thank you. I hope it’s able to help in some way🤗
If you plan to bike around, invest in a ggod quality rain wear (coat and pants), it rains a lot in Holland.
Hello. Thanks for your great insight. Quite very educative content. Keep it up. I appreciate your efforts so much in dishing out these information. Anyway, please help me with this question. Are there English speaking primary schools for foreign children in Netherlands or just the schools were only dutch is the language of teaching. Expecting a reply from you. God bless
Hi Chistopher. Yes there are international schools that teach in English. In that case you will pay have to pay tuition fees.
A few public schools although teach mainly Dutch, they also introduce English as a second language, earlier on in the child’s education, I’m not sure when though. And this option is not available in all public schools.
So an international school may be the best option if you want your kids to be taught in English.
Thanks and God bless. I appreciate you
I love your content. Can’t find the accommodation links though
in the link description. But me as a local disagree with those links.
A few of them are expat related which basically tells me nope scam prices like they do in big cities, dont trust that ever. They 100% take advantage of expats. Housing here is equal system for everyone, so one specialized for expats rings alarm bells.
I dont trust these. Some like kamernet are useful but thats only for renting temporary rooms. Most of these are absolutely useless. So I can copy them for you but youtube will remove it. If you rather have my advise instead I can give you actual corporations that rent per city. because these only address specifically foreigners (so a scam she trusts i dont), one for rooms, but rooms aint housing, and one for living in the most expensive province of the nation. I came from Haarlem so I know, She promoting my province but I am saying NOPE dont do it, find another province more to the east not utrecht, not north holland, not south holland. avoid those, you pay insanity for absolutely no reason.
Rent more in east. lets say Zwolle, rent is like 600-700 for home 100+ m2 size. train to Amsterdam would be about a hour.
Home in amsterdam 40m2 = 700 euro easily. Not worth it. 100m2 in amsterdam would cost you over 2000 euro.
Cost of train 1 year travel cost about 1200 euro for a full year. you easily can afford that with zwolle and still save money and have a decent size home than living in amsterdam or anywhere near that province.
I currently Live in lelystad, cost is about same as zwolle, bit closer to Amsterdam but not blown up cost of living compared to housing in my own province North holland.
Let me know i will help ya.
Hello . I just watched your vids and i certainly like it as woman with a dutch boyfriend. Tbh idk how to ride a bicycle nor swim huhu and thats really a challenge for me.
I’m glad you love it. I think you can learn both😆. I didn’t know how to cycle nor swim too😆
@@josphineogugua hahahhaha maybe its time for me to learn . Thanks for your videos ❤
I like people who share valuable content. May the lord Give you more wisdom and ideas for valuable content like this one, and may the heavens over this your channel by open in the name of Jesus
Thanks so much. I'm happy to be able to help in some way🤗🤗🤗
Thanks so much for these lovely videos, they are very informative, I love them all.
Please I'm a Nigerian but resident in Dubai, what are the best routes to immigrate to Netherland with family. I'm an Healthcare Assistant, just completed my program though. I await your quick response please.
Your work, Medical care is still open for work. So is education work. And IT. If you like those sectors and have something to offer that you can do they can hire you with stay.
Everyone can do Mc donalds, not everyone can do medical work, depending on your skill, a high skilled migrant is often required, thats your gateway. Be a high skilled something that a country needs.
Hi Josephine. I love, love, love your videos and I look forward to it everytime.
Please I'd love to find out the possiblilty of working part time while on a master's program in Netherlands and being able to afford the tuition fees with the money (in a case where the school permits installment payments).
I await your prompt response. Thank you
Hi Esther,
I don't have information regarding Tuition for Masters degree programmes. I think checking out the school website will provide insight into payment options for students. Also I think international students can only work for 10hrs per week. That might be not be enough for payment of fees.
There's something about your cheerfulness and positivity in your videos. It's quite infectious. One question I'd like to ask though, where did you get your passport stamped? I heard that the Netherlands doesn't have an embassy here in Nigeria. I don't know how true that is. Perhaps you could make a video of a more detailed process of your travel plans and experiences. I'm sure it'll be lovely to listen your gist.
Hi Osiennicka, Thank you for the complement 🤗.
I did get my passport stamped in Accra Ghana. As at that time, the Dutch embassy in Nigeria did not handle visa processing and we needed to go to Ghana for that.
@@josphineogugua thank you very much for your response ma'am. This is very helpful 👌.
Hey nice video! But is it easy to move to the Netherlands?
Valuable information thanks for this but how can someone contact you for more information ?
Have a job + accomodation before coming over.
Hi, is there a family Visa that the Netherlands government offered?
Sister pls do Netherlanders pay in hours or monthly as you mentioned about having alot of money before coming
Hi Emmanuel,
Most contracts will clearly state your hourly rate and then summarise it to how much you earn per month and per year. In terms of payment, Some jobs may pay weekly or monthly. It depends on the job and contract.
Its the skin for me
guys I'm trying to search for jobs with accommodation has anyone know any sites or apps where I can I find these jobs
Hello please
Do you think as a nail , lash extensions, pedicurist can get jobs in d Netherlands ( self employed) please do u think people in d Netherlands do all that ?
Thou as an extra job
Yes you can be self employed in the Netherlands. I don’t have all the details about entrepreneurship here but it’s a possibility.
Hi, thanks for the wonderful video, please did you have idea where I can learn swimming in Nigeria and are well recognized by The Netherlands government,
Hi, you don’t need one recognised by the Dutch Government. I don’t think there’s anything like that. You just need to get a nice place or pool that has a trainer who can teach beginners how to swim
@@D_beautyengineer thank you for the information... Did you know how it takes to get to certificate?
@@muyideenhammed8395 it depends on how fast you learn. Certificate is also not necessary. Once you move here you can enroll for maybe the higher swimming lessons so you can get your diploma. But it’s really not necessary as long as you can swim well
Hallo please don’t forget to put up the link for the accommodation 🥰
Sure, I totally omitted it. I’ll update it soonest
Can someone who earns from freelancing online, stay there and how does Their tax work on online workers?
Nice video 😊
Hi hi. This is really a nice question. I do know about an entrepreneur visa that the Netherlands offers but I really don’t know how it works. Consider checking the gov. Website for more info business.gov.nl/
Freelancing happens here too. I think you probably mean what we call ZZP here. Zelfstandig zonder personeel. Self employed.
Its risky but if your work is required you can.
Taxes are on the net.
Belastingschijf Belastbaar inkomen uit werk en woning Tarief
1 tot € 69.399 37,07%
2 vanaf € 69.399 49,50%
Tax bracket 1 and 2, up to 69.399k is taxed 37,07%. After that is taxed 49.50%.
If you have your own company you can do tax returns on your purchages. Such as my father who is self employed bought himself for 7k new computer equipment for his work and stuff. he could get 21% tax back on those since he was registered as ZZP, basically a company without personel, so self employed.
So if you earn money through ways it depends on what ways but you can find that online. Normal work taxes are shown above. And its quite hard to hit 69k income thats high, so expect you pay if you work 37% thats it, it gonna take a while before 37% turns into 49.50%, you need to hit 70k to have that tax. And dont think it means your entire income.
if it says 69.399 and up it means from that moment any above gets the 49.50%, but the amount below is still taxed 37% if im correct.
Can I bring my Bicycle from South Africa to save costs?
I wouldn’t recommend, you can always get a fairly used bicycle for cheap in Marktplaats 👌🏾
How are airbnb in Netherlands? Well I don't know how to bicycle but I love to swim haha maybe I can travel by water haha 😅. Rain no problem. Rains in Seattle ; been here 15 years.
I’ve never used Airbnb here but I think it works okay. I’m not sure about availability though. You can learn to cycle😆. I did learn after I moved here.
Girrrlll you know how many people tried to teach me to bicycle in my lifetime haha 😄. I guess I will try again. I will take transportation if it fails hahah.
And thanks for the videos! Great advice :)
@@moldar81 same here😆. I tried learning as a child but it didn’t work out. I surprising learnt here by myself. My husband supported me when I needed but that’s about it😆
@@josphineogugua ah sounds like me hahah. ahhh that is awesome. Oh I see; he taught you and told you to spread your wings. That's not how you teach someone haha. Very funny. Will see how it goes. I might skip the whole thing and travel by swimming and bus.
Please ma I a teenager in Nigeria I go to stay with my mom and my stepdad in Netherlands I want to know what I need
Hi Owen,
As a teenager who will be living with your parents, I just feel what you need are things that will make you feel at home here in the Netherlands. I am assuming that your accommodation, feeding and school costs are already covered. So I would say bring along anything that makes you feel comfortable. I hope you're able to.make new friends and have a great life here🤗
Hi Owen, I’d recommend you to join a (sports)club and learn the language. This will enable you to meet new friends. Good luck
Can I move with my family to Netherlands?
There are options for this. You check out the Dutch website www.welcome-to-nl.nl/
Please sorry to bother you: Please and please do you have any trusted Travel agent you can link me with?
Please help me cause I've been scammed by few fake agents here in Nigeria:
Please I want to Study in the Netherlands:
Most information you’re looking for in an agent, you can get directly get from schools and websites. In my opinion, stop looking for agents and do the research. It will be more rewarding. If you need some guidance or any info that you can’t find online, you can drop me a message.
DON'T BUY A CAR THERE TO MAST OF THEM. IT'S ONE BIG TRAFFIC MES
99% of the cost issues can be fixed by NOT MOVING into holland. I moved from Haarlem to Lelystad for the very reason of that NOTHING is affordable. All companies pay massive prices for being on those provinces with those economy, you pay for that.
By not moving into the 4 most costly provinces:
Noord, Zuid holland, Utrecht and Zeeland, you avoid the extreme cost. More cental-east to north-east is cheap, more west-central is expensive. Absolutely everything you pay for in amsterdam is a total scam.
Let me give you a example;
120-140m2 housing in lets say Emmen is about 550-700 euro
80-120m2 housing in Lelystad where I am at now is about 550-700
Now lets use 3 examples of amsterdam to show you the insanity in scale:
for 550-700 euro you get about 40m2 in amsterdam.
to get 80-120m2 cost easily 1500-2500 in amsterdam.
140m2 would cost over 3000 euro in amsterdam.
Living in Amsterdam is a scam, nobody in this country would suggest to live close to Utrecht, Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Those places and its surroundings are insane and should be avoided at all cost. Problem is:
Locals of such cities ALWAYS promote their bad cities. And foreigners only visit those cities to choose to live. Which is the worst decision you can make in this country. Sadly many of you find out once you move to lets say Zwolle that the cost of housing halfs without compromising size. Sad isnt it? So my advise stop advertising North holland. Its been overly advertised to the point where it doesnt represent anything at all it was before. But you get ripped off so bad, while the wait list is insanity too.
My advise, move the f out of where you at, pick something bit away from where you at, travel times may increase a bit for work, but half rent cost would easily make up for that wouldnt it?
