to be more clear, I meant 5 year residence permit not indefinite residence permit

hello,

 

I have  been living in the Netherlands 5 years for study purposes and I will be doing 1 year internship, so overall 6 years. Is it necessary to have a normal job contract (not internship contract) to apply for permanent residenship? I have heard that I need to work at least 1 year even though I lived more than 5 years non stop in the Netherlands? Is that true?

 

Any replies would be highly appreciated!

 

 

Thank you so much! the information you provided is very informative!

Hi All,

 

I graduate from University of Amsterdam and got one year zoekjaar which means I am allowed to work in the Netherlands for one year. I currently have 32 hours/week internship and I am thinking to to work during the weekends too to cover my costs. My question is am I allowerd more than 40 hours/week? I am from non-EU but have one year work permit.

 

I would appreciate any replies!

 

Many thanks for your time!

 

Cheers
