Relocation plan to Netherlands

The family’s readiness to apply for family reunification has been confirmed: the documents have been collected, legalized, and translated, and the budget and source of remote income have been verified.

The application has been submitted and a positive decision has been received, or a valid legalization pathway for all family members has been confirmed.

The family has legally entered the Netherlands and settled at an address suitable for residence and subsequent registration.

Registrations have been completed, the necessary identifiers and documents have been obtained, and banking, medical, school, and tax processes have been arranged.

It has been confirmed who the sponsor is, which conditions apply to the spouse and children, whether an MVV entry visa is required, and which documents or exams are required specifically for the family situation.

The forms, proof of family relationship, sponsor and family documents, proof of income and accommodation, as well as translations and legalisation, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the competent authority.

The application has been submitted through the correct procedure, the required fees have been paid, proof of submission has been retained, and monitoring of requests for additional documents or biometrics has been arranged.

A decision on the application has been received; where necessary, the MVV has been obtained, biometrics and document collection have been coordinated, and travel dates have not been set before the right to enter has been confirmed.

Post-entry actions with IND have been completed, and each family member has been issued a document confirming lawful residence or has been informed how to obtain it.

A list of documents for each family member has been compiled: identity documents, civil registry certificates, proof of kinship, children’s documents, proof of income, and sponsor’s documents.

The documents required by the Dutch authorities have been prepared in an acceptable format: with the required apostille or other legalization and a translation into Dutch, English, or another permitted language.

A reserve has been set aside, taking into account rent, the deposit, flights, insurance, documents, furnishing, transportation, and expenses for children. The family’s minimum monthly income has been determined separately.

Actual expenses for housing, insurance, school, transportation, and everyday living have been compared with the plan; the reserve, limits, and period of the family’s financial autonomy have been adjusted.

A lawful arrangement for covering medical expenses before and after registration in the Netherlands has been selected; children, chronic conditions, and the need for continuity of treatment have been taken into account.

Suitable health insurance has been arranged for the family from the date the obligation arises, a huisarts and pediatric medical services have been selected, and medications and medical records have been transferred to the local system.

The rental budget, preferred areas, number of bedrooms, access to schools and transport, and requirements for the possibility of registering at the address have been documented.

A package for landlords has been prepared, including proof of identity, income, family composition, and financial reserves; a parallel search for temporary housing and long-term rental accommodation has begun.

A verified agreement has been signed, the condition of the property and meter readings have been documented, the deposit and first payment have been transferred, and the keys and proof of address have been received.

A bank has been selected, the account has been opened, salary or client payments, rent, utility bills, and a backup way to access the money have been set up.

It is determined where the family’s tax residency arises, how remote income will be classified, and whether business registration, employer notification, or a change in the contractual model is required.

The date of tax residency, obligations to the Dutch and Kazakh authorities, the procedure for declaring remote income, and the need to register as an entrepreneur or under another status are determined.

A calendar has been created for tax returns, payments, and the retention of income and expense records, as well as for the annual review of the family’s tax status and remote work.

The baggage contents, carrier, dates, rules for transporting medications and documents, delivery method for large possessions, and logistics budget have been determined.

After a positive decision, tickets, a transfer, and temporary accommodation for the period until moving into long-term rental housing have been booked; the family has a contact and emergency plan for the journey.

The termination or transfer of the rental agreement, storage of belongings, access to Kazakhstani accounts and documents, and notifications required due to a change of residence or tax status have been arranged.

The family entered the Netherlands with valid documents, retained proof of entry, and moved into temporary or permanent accommodation.

A list of suitable schools has been compiled based on the address and language of instruction, applications have been submitted, and the class, start date, and adaptation or language-learning support have been determined for each child.

Medical and school contacts, daily routine, transportation, extracurricular environment, and a support plan for the child in case of language, social, or academic difficulties have been agreed upon.

Each family member is registered at their actual address with the municipality, and the necessary residency records and personal identification numbers have been obtained or officially requested.

Mobile phone service and internet are connected; electricity, water, and heating are arranged; transportation routes and local services are identified; and family documents are stored securely.

The deadlines that trigger an alternative scenario have been defined: requesting a status update, correcting documents, arranging temporary accommodation, considering another district, securing backup income, and obtaining legal advice.

Funds for an emergency departure or several months of living expenses, backup copies of documents, specialist contacts, and the conditions for reconsidering the decision to proceed with the relocation have been recorded.
