Call ahead, but it's possible they will want everything in one name. It might be nothing, but I've had a situation where someone skipped an 's' in my name and it caused me a month of headaches. Read More

Which nationality/ies are the passports? I would advise having everything in your new name. It may very well cause issues at border control. Especially if your marriage certificates etc. are not in English/Dutch. Call to be sure, but I've ... Read More

You don't need to speak Dutch to get a visa. That comes when you want to apply for nationality later and the courses are done when you already have residency. Read More

Hello Ablaha, I went through something similar a few years ago. If you can get a German passport for yourself first, that would help a lot. If not, prepare for a lot of headaches from the IND and consider hiring a lawyer first to try and minimize ... Read More
