Changing visa partnership

Hi again and welcome back.

Sorry to read about your problem.  If your previous relationship was the basis of your current visa/work permit, then Dutch law requires you to notify the IND of your change of circumstances.  At the same time, you can ask what you need to do in order to remain in the Netherlands.  You're not the first person this has happened to and won't be the last, your sexuality will have nothing to do with it.

I wouldn't worry about it, make an appointment to speak to the IND on Monday.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying.
I have one more question.
The IND website says we have to prove long-term relationship, but in this situation what is the best to do?
I'm really concerned to go there and ask things and then have troubles, once I'm on therapy and I really need in order to recover totally.
Thanks again

Hi again.

Well, if you've been with this new partner for only a couple of weeks, then now is probably not a good time to go and ask, give it a few months - who knows you may fall out with this partner and end up having to start all over again.  The best is that you are open and honest with the IND.  I'm only sure of one thing, that is if you are discovered to be living in the Netherlands illegally, then they will deport you; the question then is, what chance of being caught?  Probably pretty low, until at some stage in the future when it matters, when your status will be checked, for example, should you wish to apply for permanent residency in the Netherlands.  Whatever your case is unique in that it is not described in the regulations, all you can do is go and ask.

At the very worse, all that can happen is that you are told to return to your home country and apply for a new visa, but that just doesn't make any sense.

Hope this helps.

Hi dear,
That's the point. I'm under my ex visa in order to maintain my therapy. And I fall for another person.
I'm not ilegal here. I just don't find any informations on the website and if I call to IND all the questions I do, remain in their system, right?
So, that's why I fell lost about talking to them.
Some advice?

Hi again.

I don't think it matters, you're not (currently) illegal and you have a job and a new partner; the Dutch Government actually want people such as yourself to come and work in the Netherlands, you'll be no good to yourself, your partner, or anybody else until you resolve this.

You are right. We gonna start the application on Friday. My ex did already inform idn about the end of our relationship so now we gonna apply for us. Thanks dear

Hi again.

Glad I could help you.  I wish you and your partner all the best for your future.

Hi Cinic,

I'm thinking to come back toy country and restart the visa process in there,because my father is sick (only 20% of his leaver is working and he can die any moment).
Is this still a safe idea? Do u know if I have to restart from zero, I mena the imburgering abroad, doing it over again?
Thanks in advance
