Applying for a Dutch resident card
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.
Provisional residence permit(MVV)
After the interview in the Netherlands I've signed the contract online in my home country. In the mean time I received a list of documents to bring to the embassy of the Netherlands in my home country to be able to get the provisional residence card(also called MVV). The company in the Netherlands arranged the appointment for me with the embassy in my country. Two weeks after visiting the embassy I've received a three months provisional residence permit(MVV).
