no your spouse can not work. the work visa is just for you. She will have to apply for a work visa if she wants to work. That's if they will give it to her.

Michael, working in any of those countries is not easy. For the Netherlands and Spain, you would have to be a citizen of an EU country. To work in Canada, you would need to apply for a work permit and would need a sponsorship from an employer proving you had a job waiting for you. Visit the different countries' tourism Web sites, which usually have information about working abroad. An option might be to work as a student. If you are still in university, you might qualify for a program under the Council on International Educational Exchange. Visit www.ciee.org. Good luck!

why does a dvd purchased in holland not work in the us
why does a dvd purchased in holland not work in the us?

It will if you have a region free dvd player. Many of the newer players in the U.S. are now region free meaning they will play any area's dvds. Originally, dvds were made region specific because it allowed the motion picture studios to control various aspects of release such as content, date and price on a region-by-region basis.
2 :
That is because once you play a dvd in a dvd player the regional settings are finalized in the player firmware itself and hence it doesnot play us dvds.
3 :
I'm guessing 1 of 2 reasons. 1-It's on a different format or 2-you bought it on vacation from a guy on the corner because it was super cheap and there is nothing on the disk to begin with.
4 :
European DVD is set to high def playback on European standards. IF you do not have HDTV, I doubt if the DVD player is going to work on our standard TV's here.
5 :
Wow at the answers so far. All DVD players, unless gray market products, are set to a specific region. This is mandated in the DVD standards. These DVD players are set to a region from the factory and should never change, it has nothing to do with the first disc that was put in it. There are some DVD players that can hacked easily, either by a remote combination or a firmware hack. From there, you could hardware chip the player, but it is not easy or cheap. It is as simple as the DVD that you bought in Holland is region 2, while the US is region 1. Your region 1 DVD player simply cannot play region 2, which is why it will not work. Even if you could get your DVD player to play region 2 DVDs. You have another obstacle, Europe uses PAL while the US uses NTSC. The NTSC TVs we have here in the US are unable to handle PAL signals, while the same goes for PAL TVs not being able to handle NTSC signals. A handful of DVD players have the ability to convert PAL to NTSC and there are devices out there that can convert PAL to NTSC, but they don't come cheap. I should mention, Japan, who is in region 2. Is the only other major country that uses NTSC as their standard. So, imported movies from there would work find a regionless DVD player and NTSC TV. European PAL or anyones PAL for the matter of the fact IS NOT high definition. It has a slightly higher resolution than NTSC, but it isn't even close to HD. You do not need a HDTV to play any DVD, all will work perfectly fine on a standard TV. If your DVD player can easily be hacked to be come region free.

Is a good idea to try applying for work in Holland if I can not find work in NZ during the recession
Is a good idea to try applying for work in Holland if I can not find work in NZ during the recession?
But I left my steady job which I had for 2 1/2 for 10 months to upskill to get a better job working off the phones with servers instead of IT Helpdesk work & dealing with customers.. Be now I have finished my course getting my double MCSE, MCSE & MCITP am struggling to get another job.. I have several IT Qualifications MCP,MCTS, MCDST,MCSA,MCSE,MCITP(MCSE 2008), CCA(citrix certified Admin) Comptia A+, Network+. I have heard Holland will be less effected by the recession due to having a much better economy.. I would have to learn Dutch, But that's ok.. If it means finding a job in worst times ahead I was also thinking about Japan & learning Japanese as believe that country is also less effected, But I am told New Zealanders are much more like the Dutch then the Japanese culture wise.. USA,UK & Australia are expected to be effected worst then New Zealand.. Also the pay in Holland is expected to be 3-5 times higher then a New Zealand wage

In order to work in the Netherlands you will need both a work permit and a residence visa. Both are hard to get. There is no shortage of IT staff in the Netherlands either, so finding a job will be tough. You cannot arrive in the Netherlands on a tourist visa, find a job and apply for a permit. You have to have a job agreed before you arrive. Ian M.
2 :
Whilst you have an array of different IT qualifications, these are not really uncommon to have as an IT professional here (my husband is one and is constantly on training courses as part of his job to upgrade his position and education) It is doubtful that you would obtain a highly skilled migrant visa on the basis of a helpdesk position as this is not deemed as specialist or a position for which NL cannot find workers. The problem is that as a non-EU national you would have to obtain a visa to work here and unless you qualify for a highly skilled worker's visa, then to obtain a regular work permit it is very difficult indeed. Your employer must apply on your behalf and must prove that it is a job position which you and only you can fulfill the requirements of, and that it cannot be filled by anyone else (not just in the Netherlands, but also the total EU pool of labour, and that includes the UK for which like you said there are many unemployed people looking for the same). As a result many companies will not even attempt to follow this procedure and it is commonplace to have it stated on advertisements that any applicant must already be legally entitled to work in the Netherlands You can read more about the exact details (including official links to the immigration dept info on the website, and job/accommodation links) here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiBJ5aO4gN9OPA7GK8Xwpzjty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20081029005645AAYhd63 The Netherlands is not immune to the global crisis and I hear about redundancies on a near daily basis from friends/neighbors or in the news, so it is not all sunshine and roses here, although it is indeed faring better than other countries for the time being. As you mentioned as well, in a helpdesk function, unless you are working for an International company whose working language is English, you would already have to be native in Dutch to be able to assume such a position interacting with Dutch speakers so this would put you at a definite disadvantage when applying. So I don't want to put you off, but do want to give you food for thought, and then you can consider how realistic the prospect is of finding a job here. Best of luck to you

Have you ever learned another language? If not, it could take some time. However, if you stay in the west of the country, around Amsterdam and the Hague, you might not need more than basic Dutch. Salaries may be higher in the Netherlands, but so is the cost of living. Find out how much it would cost you to live there first.

Yes but unless you hold a EU passport you have to get residence first and that will be hard The iT industry is laying off people here as well. Not as bad as NZ is shedding workers at present but it ain't paradise here either. I am a Dutchie, with NZ residence. Back in the Netherlands now, but this is partially thanks to my Dutch passport
