The benefits of emigrating to the Netherlands

1. Loose immigration policy: The immigration policy of the Netherlands is one of the most relaxed countries in the EU at present. With the immigration saturation of Canada, Australia and other traditional immigrant countries and the limitations of economic development, the stable political environment and rising economic strength of the European Union make the immigration to the Netherlands gradually show its unique advantages. It is extremely wise to choose the Netherlands, the central country of immigration to the European Union. 2. Good career prospects: The Netherlands has become China's second largest trading partner in the EU, and emigrating to the Netherlands can further expand your career. As we all know, the central geographical position of the Netherlands in the EU and the largest port in Europe-Rotterdam Port, make the trade business a dominant industry in the Netherlands, and its distribution network can cover the whole EU and Eastern Europe. The political proximity between the European Union and the government of China has led to the rapid expansion of their economic and trade volume, and the business opportunities while emigrating to the Netherlands can bring you unlimited potential.

3. Good language environment: The Netherlands has a high English penetration rate among non-English-speaking countries in Western Europe. About 95% of Dutch people can speak English, and English is their first foreign language. A good English environment makes you feel strange in your life and work. In addition, the children of the main applicant can receive education in more than four languages at the same time. In China, a person who can master English can have a good job and income, but in European countries, especially the Netherlands, it is normal to know several foreign languages. Many Dutch people can switch between Dutch, English, German, French and even Latin at will.

4. Low cost of living: thanks to its advantages as a European "vegetable garden", although the living standard in the Netherlands is high, the cost is one of the lowest in Europe; Generally, the rent of a family is about 500 euros per month, and the monthly expenditure on food is generally lower than per person 100 euros.

5. Allow family members to work legally: After emigrating to the Netherlands, family members can also work legally.

6. Travel around the world at will: immigrate to the Netherlands, and 26 EU countries can visit at will.

7. Visa-free access to Schengen countries: With a Dutch ID card, you can enter Schengen countries without a visa. After being naturalized in the Netherlands, you can enter most countries in the world visa-free with a Dutch passport (second only to the United States and Germany, the number of visa-free entry ranks third in the world).

8. Good education and welfare: The Dutch government provides a lot of cash and transportation subsidies for your children's study. The Dutch government's total investment in education accounts for about 20% of the national budget. An ordinary China student needs at least 400,000-600,000 RMB to study in the Netherlands and other western developed countries for four years. However, going to college after emigrating to the Netherlands can not only save your family the expensive cost of studying abroad, but also provide your children with a high subsidy of 6,000 euros per year (including public transportation subsidies).

9. No immigration supervisor: One advantage of immigrating to the Netherlands is that applicants can continue to focus on domestic business without having to sit in the "immigration supervisor" for many years. Dutch law does not stipulate whether you must stay in the Netherlands, but only emphasizes that as the manager of the Dutch subsidiary, the Netherlands should be the main place of residence and work. In other words, within five years before you obtain permanent residency or naturalization, you can freely travel between China and Europe, and freely plan your stay in Europe and China according to the actual situation.

10. Other benefits: if you choose to start a business in the Netherlands, you can close the company after permanent residence/naturalization, and you can get high unemployment insurance for 2-3 years without paying any taxes (up to 70%-90% of your original salary); After retirement, you can unconditionally receive a pension of about 1 1,000 euros/month.

First of all, the family doctor

The Dutch medical model is completely different from China's. In China, whenever someone gets sick, they go to the hospital, and it hurts to queue up for registration. The first step to see a doctor in Holland is a family doctor. There are many family doctors in Holland, and they are widely distributed. You can choose your own family doctor according to your own needs.

For example, if I don't feel well today, just call to make an appointment, and you can go directly to the doctor. Each clinic takes about ten minutes. If you see a doctor during the doctor's working hours, you don't need to make an appointment in principle, you can go directly, but there may be other patients coming to see a doctor during this time, so you need time to wait. If it is an emergency, the family doctor will try to arrange for you to see a doctor on the same day.

Family doctors in Holland are very professional. They have a special website with basic information such as doctors' jobs and contact information, as well as other patients' evaluations and scores of doctors. It's like a medical public comment.

Second, pharmacies

After seeing a doctor, the doctor will prescribe relevant medicine for you according to your situation and ask you to go to the pharmacy to get it. After purchasing medical insurance, you can choose a pharmacy to register, and then you can get it free of charge every time you get it within the insurance scope.

You can also choose to connect the family doctor's clinic with the pharmacy, so that after each visit, the doctor will send the prescription directly to the pharmacy website, and you can get the medicine there.

Drugs in the Netherlands, like those in China, are divided into prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Prescription drugs must be prescribed by a doctor, and over-the-counter drugs can be purchased at any time if necessary.

Dutch pharmacies are usually open from 8 am to 5 pm on Monday, and some pharmacies are also open on Saturday morning. After business hours, pharmacies have a duty system and generally post information in the window.

Third, hospitals.

Under normal circumstances, you can't go directly to the hospital. After treatment, the family doctor needs to issue a referral form.

What if it's an emergency symptom? You can take your insurance card and ID card and go directly to the emergency and trauma center of the hospital for medical treatment.

But this emergency privilege is not used casually. If the doctor finds that your symptoms are not urgent, he will still call you back to your family doctor.

After registering in the hospital, you will get a hospital registration card. Every time you go to the hospital, you need to bring this card, whether it is referral or emergency. Moreover, different hospitals will need different hospital registration cards.

Fourth, dentists.

Dentists are independent in Holland. They usually have a special dentist's office. Friends who need to see a dentist can choose to register at the dentist's office and bring their own insurance card and relevant documents when they see a doctor.

Some dental clinics will require patients to pay medical expenses in advance, and then the patients will reimburse the insurance company themselves. However, there are also some dental clinics that send the bills directly to the insurance company without the need for patients to pay for themselves.

Need to remind everyone that the national adult basic medical insurance has little protection for dentistry. If you want to get insurance, you need to buy additional dental insurance, otherwise all the treatment costs will be borne by the patients themselves!

Verb (abbreviation for verb) cost

The cost problem is definitely a concern of everyone. After purchasing Dutch basic medical insurance and paying a certain premium every month, the insurance company will pay the medical expenses covered by the insurance. Basic medical insurance will basically meet the daily medical needs of most people, including family doctors, specialists, obstetricians, hospitalization services, medical equipment and other expenses.

You can get a medical insurance card after purchasing insurance, and you can directly ask the insurance company for relevant medical expenses every time you see a doctor.
