I came to the Netherlands as a highly skilled migrant from outside of EU, so I will talk about this type of applying for Dutch resident card experience in this post.

The first week in the Netherlands, I had just large money like 500 Euro bills and I couldn't shop in stores with that money.
Where to find money exchange
I needed to find a place to exchange my money. If you face the same problem search for GWK travelex branches in your city. My city was Utrecht and I could find one at the central station. Mostly you can find money exchanges at airports and train stations.
In the first week in the Netherlands I needed to take the bus to go around the city, in this blog post I will give you advise what you need to get started. Asuming you don't have a car yet, you can use the public transportation in the Netherland easily to visit many interesting places. Public transportation in the Netherlands is of good quality and many places can be easily reached with only the use of public transportation.
You don’t know anything about the Netherlands and you are worried?
Don’t worry, everything is alright. During these two years I received many questions from different people in different channels like Linkedin, Instagram about How is life in the Netherlands, where can I start, how can I rent a house, how can I change my driving licence, how can I use 30 percent ruling and so on.
