You need to either get hired by a company in America who will send you overseas, or get hired by an overseas company who will fill out the paperwork so that you can get a work visa. Check out the link below.

Pastor Dave above is right; to get a job in the Netherlands, you need to have a company in that country provide you with a work contract and have them do the required paperwork for you to be able to work there. As with most immigration laws, you need to have certain skills or be in a certain profession to be considered for a position there. Your best bet is to check out Dutch immigration policy and information about your career.

how to find a girlfriend in holland
how to find a girlfriend in holland?
I am working in Holland from quite a while, and people say that I am a nice person. I go easy with girls, i can strike up a conversation, but I don't know how to be more than friend with a girl here. Do I need to be implicit or explicit? I am feeling really frustrated about this thing. ******************************************** EDIT: help again. I met a nice girl yesterday and talked with her for a while. I got her phone number and asked her if we could meet some time. I need some suggestions how to ask her again to meet up and if she refuses I dont want that to become very hard thing. Moreover I think she will come for a coffee but then I dont know how to carry on the conversation flowing (I am not a talkative person)........... any suggestions please.

maybe you can ask a nice guy there how to do it...if Y!A didn't work,of course.

Well, i guess i can only say: be yourself! ... i mean what makes you special? (you don't need to answer here, is just for you to think about), how have you done it in the past back in your country?, show your charms and try; there is a saying here in NL that says: no you have, yes you can get... so try! ... Women all over the world like to be treated with respect, to be listened, ask them out and see with which one you feel better, be yourself, be honest and have good healthy fun in the mean time... I am not dutch but i live here already for a while and well, i have noticed that is more about your attitude, your personality, about you been you... Maybe i didn't say anything new to you, but being yourself is number one rule, if you want a nice relationship.. so go for it! Good luck :)

Be yourself and you shoudn/t be shy to start a conversation I wish you luck

Well I agree with the "be yourself" approach because trying to be someone else is a bad start to meeting anyone (as the truth will always come out in the long term anyway) The first thing I would do is to enlist the confidence of a couple of female friends (which you say you have). Girls generally like to give advice (spoken from a girl here!) and as long as they are trustworthy friends of yours then there is no reason not to ask this question to them. The advantage is that they know you, your personality, looks, demeanor etc etc, and them can give you more personal advice based on their own observations. Maybe it is something simple like not smiling enough, not giving the right signals, not being overt enough in showing you are interested in finding a gf etc and they are best placed to notice this compared with strangers answering you here The other thing I would do is to example the circles in which you are looking for a gf. Are you just looking at work/college for a gf? If so then it's a small circle and of course the smaller the circle, the lesser the chance you will click with someone. So try to extend your social life to scenario's where you would meet other females e.g. going out for a drink, joining a sports club or something that brings you into touch with fellow minded people and especially girls]\ Of course there are websites online you could also look at, but the majority are in Dutch (not sure what your Dutch is like) and also be wary because there are both fraudsters and also people who find it easy to produce a persona from behind a pc screen which is not their own. Concerning your point about being implicit/explicit - well there's a balance. Acting like a dog in mating season running from female to female is not likely to gain you much credence, but likewise shyly sitting there waiting for someone to find you is not going to help - so it's about striking this balance. I'm not sure what the norm is for Indonesian girls (you mentioned this is where you were from in another question), but Dutch girls are not really shy compared with some nationalities and so you may need to be more explicit (I would call it overt) then perhaps what you are being - but this is just guesswork because I don't know you. Like I said, try to enlist the help of your female friends (even to the point of asking them if they have a friend whom they think would be interested in you) and this might help Best of luck EDIT Well if your female friends already tell you that you don't show enough interest, then it seems you have the answer already :0) There are more subtle ways you can read about like body language, holding eye contact etc, but on the basis of what your friends say, I would suggest you take this up a level by being more direct e.g. ask the girl you are interested in out on a date and use those words so it's clear that it's more than just friends (then there's no misunderstanding) I'm not the best person to suggest places for meeting singles to be honest as I am married and have been out of the dating scene for a long time really now :0) Maybe Ollin or someone else can help with this? I can completely understand you not wanting to use websites and in your situation I would also be wary of the same. One possibility is to use Hyves (social network site) and it is not a 'harsh' as a dating site Regarding your comments about wanting a girl to tell you to go further, it's kind of a catch 22 situation because if you are too passive and don't make obvious steps towards building a relationship, it's a bit rough to expect the girl to do all the work for you and tell you she is interested. Think of things as a reciprical thing. If you want to go further than tell her this. What's the worse that can happen? She can say no.... ok then so be it. At least you don't trickle on both misunderstanding one another It seems to me that you are a little passive and are sitting back waiting for the girl to make all the moves and push any relationship forward, and fine there are girls like that, but there are also ones who are certainly not as well, and by being passive you are risking missing out on meeting and building relationships because of this. Going out to a bar and sitting at the bar waiting for someone to come to you isn't going to help your situation. I personally think you have to take a bit step and be more direct or confident (or explicit) in how you interact with females you are interested, from what you have said - however as I said before, we are strangers and I don't know you. I really would advise you to have this discussion with female friends you know and they can maybe give you examples of what they see which are more personal and which you can relate to Good luck

(I am the same guy who asked this question, but my that account is blocked dont know why) Thanks olin and bla bla for your details answers. My female friends say that I do not show enough interest in some one. As for myself I think I do show interest implicitly, but may be I dont know the way of showing interest. Can u suggest some nice places in Amsterdam to go and to meet single and nice girls? I do not want to use web sites, I feel uncomfortable with that. As for me I want the girl to tell me that she likes me and wants to go further. I dont want to comment on Indonesian/dutch girls, but for all the previous girls i had, it was started from girl (of course I had some implicit signals;) ). But that explicit thing never happened here with me. Although I do receive some implicit signals here in holland but than I am not very good in reading or follow up. any more suggestions??

Swinging bed on Holland America Cruise
Swinging bed on Holland America Cruise?
Im going on a cruise from seattle to alaska on the boat ( I believe) Amsterdam, and I was told that there is a swinging bed in the room we are staying in. My father is working with Holland America, and is there this bed?

Do you perhaps mean a "swing bed"? If so, that just means that there are two beds that can be made up as two separate beds or put together as one large bed. Or, it can mean a pull-down bed in the ceiling.

You must have a job offer in hand from a company in Holland & its that company's job to get work permit for you. You should be at least Dutch degree level qualified, that means at least M.A/MSc from Pakistan. B.Com may not be sufficient, I think next level probably is M.Com. Good luck.
