Continued residency/change of residency

Hi again.

I think you can; this link will take you to the relevant part of the Dutch Government IND website that deals with this.

With regards to benefits related to Dutch citizens, no, you would not be a Dutch citizen unless you apply for Dutch nationality (and surrender your US passport).  If you are granted permanent residence, then yes, you'd be the same as the rest of those with similar status.

One last point; there have been reports of US citizens living in the EU having issues with personal banking; this link will take you to the relevant part of our German Forum that contains the thread.  I haven't heard the same in Holland (I also hold a US passport), but it's something you need to be aware of (and maybe your Dad).

Hope this helps.

Hi again Cynic!

Yes, this would be ideal, as then I could qualify for lower tuition fees I believe by being on that visa. Thanks!
