samenlevingsovereenkomst and work and residency

Dear Sir, to answer to your question I need more details? Where are you from and are you having a contract with a Dutch person or a European person for that matter? I need to know, in order to give you the right advise?

Two questions. Where are you coming from? And were is your partner coming from? Than I can answer.

Hi,

If your partner is an EU citizen, there is no problem. You have to go http://www.ind.nl/ and carry passports, cohabitation agreement, and the registration of the two of you at the city hall.
You only can do that after your partner begin working in the Netherlands, because the company must give him/her a document stating that he/she is working for them.
If your partner is a dutch national, everything is certainly more complicated, because the State require you to study dutch language and culture in your own country and pass an exam before applying for a visa to come living here.
I hope I could have helped you

I don't want to turn this into a struggle between helpers...off course not ! That's completely unusefull and nonsense.
What's important here is to try assisting N S based in our experience or knowledge.
However, I've got to say that I would never wait until someone put its contribution to quote him/her and introduce new information rating it as correct or wrong. I would, all the way, inform that person the most I know for sure. Anyway, it's a matter of style and I certainly don't identify myself with it.
Let's go to the point: as You asked on how to obtain Residence and Working Permit you will certainly need, in case your partner be an EU citizen, a document issued by the company where him/her works. As advised you can apply for a student residence permit....but if you want to work normally, then you have to wait until your partner begin working.
Good Luck

I am American, she is a Dutch citizen. Dutch language test is not required for Americans.

@Iaugusto noli
It is absolutely NO nonsense and now you make me very angry, your advise is defiantly a wrong advise, therefore we go to school to study law. If you need to advise, do get updated and if not, accept that your advice to this gentlemen is a wrong one.
Yet you do not stop there and continue to advice wrongly. Why, cant you accept your wrong, is that too difficult for you? I call that nonsense.

(However, I've got to say that I would never wait until someone put its contribution to quote him/her and introduce new information rating it as correct or wrong. I would, all the way, inform that person the most I know for sure.)

@Iaugusto noli
Don,t be so sure, listen to what others too can do, that way you will lurn something?
Continue to be so unable to take advise, so that the wrong information can put the other person in trouble, come on. Wake up, to that what you advice is putting people in trouble and not called for, especially your response to me. Like this remark for instance:
(Anyway, it's a matter of style and I certainly don't identify myself with it.)

@Iaugusto noli
I think it relates more on your character, than on mine. I am happy that I don't have the change to meet you in person, on sites, I meet more people like you, no respect. I explained to you why it is better to get good advice than getting the wrong one, no matter how well meant. And than reading your response, I dot respect that at all.

(Let's go to the point: as You asked on how to obtain Residence and Working Permit you will certainly need, in case your partner be an EU citizen, a document issued by the company where him/her works).

@Iaugusto noli
As I said before, NO that is incorrect, it is needed for national immegration law, NOT for EU law. So stop advising that please???

@Iaugusto noli
(As advised you can apply for a student residence permit....but if you want to work normally, then you have to wait until your partner begin working).

And this is again, absolutely not the advice this gentleman needs, he is living with a Dutch community worker and therefore, he has the right to obtain a EU residence status.

Oke Sir, N S
One, in Holland as my friend explained to you, go to the city hall ,register yourself,s at the address, you both live together, and than you can go to the IND to fill in a EU toetsing form.
Than you get a health insurance, you need to do that before, but they never ask for it at the IND offices upon registration. So don,t worry about that. It is difficult to get it without the right sticker in your passport. After you pay the fees, 43 Euro you are supposed to get this sticker, pay attention, because they give most people the wrong one.
Having received this sticker you are than allowed to work, the IND may take 6 months to give you their decision.
With the sticker you can easily get a health insurance too.

Let your Dutch friend, read this please?

Verblijfsdocument
Om aan te tonen dat u rechtmatig verblijft in Nederland kunt u bij de IND een EU/EER-document of een bewijs van inschrijving (sticker) vragen. Het EU/EER-document is voor u bedoeld als u Roemeen, Bulgaar of een derdelander bent. De overige gemeenschapsonderdanen krijgen een sticker als bewijs van inschrijving.

Any more questions? Ask them?

Greetings, Change

Were do you currently live? In Europe or the states?

I would not need a work permit if I was already living in the Netherlands. I have been visiting for years a girlfriend who is a Dutch citizen. At some point, we must consider living together on a permanent basis. Just wanted some details from a person who did it. The total fee is 1260 € for this kind of application, not 43 €. Not sure where you get that amount from. The American flag near my picture shows that my current residence is in USA, not Netherlands.
