  In fact on your permit where it says - Verblijf bij echtgenote XYZ. Arbeid vrij toegestaan. TWV niet vereist."

   

  The word echtgenote means .. wife.

  To be precise, it is "bij echtgeno(o)t(e) XYZ". So actually echtgenoot :). Thanks

  Echtgenote is a female form. The male version of the word is echtgenoot.

  Yes, and we don't have to be so specific. This is not a Dutch class folks. 

   

  It is enough that we have an´understanding´. Echtgenoot (male) or Echtgenote (female) .. basically amounts to the same thing which is that you are not a KM worker (Kennismigrant), you are a... 'spouse'.

   

  That is the point of this discussion.
