I thought you were going to Germany..... to answer your question, yes, you are allowed to work as a student in The Netherlands. However, you may do so only for about 15-20 hours a week. I'm not really sure about the exact number of hours. But you won't earn much, and full time employment is forbidde...

Yes, it does. You will be questioned about it and may even have your visa denied.

No harm in giving it a try, though.

This is just more nonsense from Brussels, sorry for the language.

The main problem seems to be that the buffoons (again sorry for the...

As far as I know no European country takes fingerprints before awarding residence permits or visas. So, as long as you don't get arrested in Europe (in which case you will be fingerprinted) you don't have to worry. About your conviction and deportation from the US, do you have any special stamp in y...

The Dutch skilled migration program (or kennismigratie as they call it) is not like the similar programs in the UK or elsewhere. It is similar to the regualr Dutch work visa (coupled with an MVV, if you happen to be from a country that requires it), the only difference being that you don't require a...

And is it citizenship that they are granting after 5 years or is it simply a resident permit of 10 years? . As Joesoap said, there is no guarantee that you will be awarded a citizenship after five years. You only become "eligible" for citizenship, and can apply for it if you continue to l...

No, not really. Only the required minimum residence period gets reduced. In other words, you will need to spend a total of five consequtive years in France, including the time you spend in the university.

You can apply for a schenegan visa from the consulate of any of the schenegan countries. You will probably be required to produce your proof of residence and employment in the UK. It is not possible to get a schenegan visitors visa for one year. You'll at best get one valid for three months, usually...
