Hello,
A bit about my situation. Me and my partner are U.S. citizens. I was accepted into a Masters program on full scholarship with a small monthly stipend. To my knowledge, and what I have been told, is that the university, TU Delft, will apply for my resident's permit on my behalf ("sponsor" me). This is where I am somewhat confused, at that point can I "sponsor" my partner and her have a resident's permit as well? What I have gathered from asking the university and IND is yes.
Now for the next roadblock, she would need some form of income to support herself while there, as I said my stipend is small. What I have been told by the IND is that she would not be able to have a work permit because I am only there as a student and she is there under my sponsorship. I however will be able to work up to 16 hours a week. Anyone have any insights to this scenario?
If both situations above, she has a resident's visa but no work permit, occur, then could she work remotely at a U.S./otherwise based job in the NL while living there? I understand this becomes somewhat of a tax issue, I have called and to my understanding she would need to pay taxes in NL and U.S., but the tax services in the NL, nor the IND, could provide me information about whether or not she could work remotely without a work permit.
Any information to any of the situations above would be greatly appreciated. The more the better.
