btw, in my previous post, i meant 4 years study + 1 year KM, and after that apply for a PR. That would satisfy 5 years requirement

I believe at the time of application, you must have a non-temporary purpose permit (in this case KM) even though your study time counts full and you have already lived in the NL 5 years continuously. I gave this example in my previous post and Avocado didn't say anything against it so I think it's true :) My guess is you have to apply for a KM first, then depending on the length of your contract, you can apply for a "PR permit on the basis of more favorable national provisions". But wait until Avocado confirms this.

There are always jobs available. It's just a matter of time until you find one. The minimum 27k is relatively low, and it's possible. Be positive and try some recruitment agencies. The good thing is with your continuous 7 year RP, when you can turn the zoekjaar to KM, you'll probably be eligible for a permanent residence permit, if I'm not mistaken.

Couldn't find a "thanks" or "like" button :) You've always been helpful. Thanks!

My company is going to stop sending the paper salary slip but we can opt for either paper or digital one. I obviously prefer digital version since I can keep all of them in one place and easily access later on. But I'm not sure if that will be a problem if I need to show all the salary slips to IND when applying for a residence permit which allows me to be free in labor market (i don't know how it's called).

 

Anyone has any idea? Is digital salary slip as effective as paper one?

Thanks
