Hi everyone a quick question, I am moving to Netherlands hopefully in May, do I need to apply for a work permit after I move there with my mvv or can I do it while still on SA? And can I work straight away just not sure how this all works? How hard is it to find a bar tendering job or waitress or Au pairing when I am there or is it advised I find one before I move over?
