Thanks again for all your replies.

Thanks for your help. My HR told me that they will make some arrangements with this hotel so they will provide me confirmation letter and I will be able to register on hotel address. I have two more questions. Do I get BSN number in one day? Can I get BSN number before my contract starts (contract is already signed)?

@ Kuchar, why you sidelined poles. We are talking about eastern europeon in general. BTW poles are the most hard working communities among eastern europeons

I've wrote about Poles because I know their situation. I think that Polish emigrants are the largest group from Central and Estrern Europe.

It wasn't my intention to show myself as 'good Pole' and them as 'bad Poles'. Maybe I wrote it in the wrong way. My intention was to say that among hundreds of thousands of Polish emigrands there are some who behave bad and spoil the opionion about all Poles. Most of these people work very hard and I respect it because they improve economies of both countries (work is done and tax are paid in NL, money are spent in PL). I think that there should be law which prevents from cheating and using hard working emigrants by job agencies. Those emigrants who can't accept Dutch law and habbits should be punished.

 

I understand that some Dutch people have reason to complain about some Poles, but this website is wrong and inappropriate. It's XXI century, we all are citizens of EU and we should be tolerant. If some Poles are drunk and are singing in front of your bedroom window just call the police. They get a ticket and they will think twice next time. I think that posting complains on xenophobic, political website won't solve the problem.

 

For example there are many people who complain on tourists who drink a lot, behave loud and **** all over the place (mostly in Cracows Market). But creating populistic website to post complains about it is as wrong as PVV site. Problem should be solved but without dividing people in "us" and "foreigners". It's easy to pin down all the blame on foreigners. But maybe there is lack of public toilets in these area or they aren't marked properly, etc.

 

I think that saying that Poles behave bad but in XVII century Poland (with Lithuania) saved europe from Muslims so they are OK is good. Maybe there should be law that that allows Poles to behave loud till midinight, because the fought two enemies during WWII for more than month, Dutch till 22:00 because they fought whith Germans for five days and Germans aren't allowed to behave loud at all? I'm proud of history of my country and I'm glad that foreign people know about these glory events. I would be happy to discous about this history events and to hear similar stories about Dutch, English and other countries history. But this is history and we live now in 2012, not in 1683 or 1939.

Hello. I'm Polish and I wanted to add my point of view about Polish emigrants in NL and other European countries. I don't like this PVV website, I think that there are many other ways to complain about emigrants (police etc,) But I understand these complaining people in some way. Many of Polish people who emigrated to NL and other Western countries are those who couldn't manage their life here in Poland. They thought that in NL there are "money on street" and they have just to pick it up. Unfortunately it isn't that easy. In many cases they don't know the language and there have difficulties in finding job. So, many of them start to drink and beg for money on the street or even steal. They think that they can't go back to Poland and admit that they fail(honor etc). On the other hand, there are a lot of job agencies which use Polish workers, they don't pay them or pay less than they should, etc In summary this site is bad, but many of Polish emigrants are also not so good. I am ashamed of my countryman quite often and in some way I understand complaining Dutch citizens.
