Hi,
Newbie, so apologies for stupid questions.
My partner and I are looking to relocate to AMS, we both work in IT and are currently employed in the UK.
Our main reason for moving is Brexit, we are British born, but do not recognise the country now and consider ourselves more European than British, and our long term goal is to get a new nationality, and based on our research the Netherlands looks like a good choice for us.
Based on this longer term objective, my question is about employment, I could reasonably easily continue to work for the company I currently do, and simply work remotely from AMS, however I lose out on GBP->EUR exchange rate (which is only getting worse); but I am wondering what position it puts me in regarding getting residency?
Also regarding taxation, and ultimately later life pension, is a UK employer a really bad idea?
I have read that renting, I will need to have an employment contract, but does that need to be with a Dutch company?
The company I work for does also have offices in Belgium, so I could transfer to being employed there, it would help the exchange rate issue, but not sure it would help the residency/nationality issue.
I could also setup my own IT services company, and this could potentially be a Dutch company, which contracts to the UK company and in turn employs me, is this any better?
I'm trying to find the path that looks least complex, so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thx
Andulus
