    Patricia, you need legal advice. The situation is serious. It may be the case that he rights to stay here if his child is here. But I have no idea if that is right - depends on the legal situation here.

    But yes, the Anne Frank house should perhaps cover both the good and the bad, in the interests of historical accuracy. But I guess it "endears" the Netherlands less to tourists if you outright admit your failings and shames, and these m...    less

    I did that nationality test a number of times last year before I began university and it said I had the statutory rate. I was very careful and checked everything. But when I tried it again this year it seemed to indicate this was no longer the case.
    If this nationality schema has changed then this may explain why your friends got the statutory rate.
    Re: the policy, I can see what you mean about the Dutch investing in education. However, Policy wise - I wonder why under c) or d) eu citizens are considered a better bet in terms of sticking around in the Ntherlands. Seems the government could lose money on them too.  less

    I just read about the Blue Card.  Does anyone know what the advantages are up against the KM scheme?  Is it kind of as good as permanent residency?  As when I read the rules it said your rights are the same as those of a citizen.

The 'voortgezet verblijf' is not the issue for you and will not do you any good. To put it plainly .. if your KM partner has the Permanent Residence Permit - you can retain the old EU based cheaper tuition you have had all along. If your KM does NOT have a Permanent Residence permit .. then you have to now pay the NON-EU rate .. which you have decribed as being much higher than before. That's it. There is no other recourse and indeed that is what this Robert Weaver is saying in that above text. In this case twilight is the only one that can take the cheaper EU rate as her partner does have the Permanant Residence Permit. I think twilight will need need to seek council if the school is sending her the same letter. Clearly they are not aware of her situation.
    To my knowledge this is incorrect.  My partner is a non permanent resident yet I am entitled to the low rate.  Two universities ( two of the ...    less

    I was accepted at two universities at the lower rate. But I applied last year and the rules may have changed since then.
    I used article 7.43 as the basis.
    This seems to suggest that people on type 1 family reunification are accepted as well:

    Who is looking out for the father here? Lawyers are there to look out for the person's interests they are representing. Not the father's. It has nothing to do with that. They can advise on what the laws are, what will happen if you report him to the IND, whether it is important to contact police etc. That's why that would be my first port of call.
