im asking these question in the hope someon from Holland could find some answers for me : i have a friend who immigrated to holland 3 years now and each time i phone him he tells me about the complicated system of work and immigration in Holland : he is married to a duch lady he is happy with her but not happy with the country he is living in !!!! 1- question : to get nationality how long does that take and what is the precedure for that???? 2- to get an office work is not simple like in the rest of europe , they ask some sort of qualifications ??!!!even he had experience before but any job agency they tell him that s not enough anyway after a long struggle courses etc he managed to get an office job and signed some sort of contract with the company the strange think is : ther is a lot of racisme , and it seems like ther is no human rights either ,just yesterday he told me : he was sitting in his lunch break talking to a colleague and someone passed next him and told the other person : don t talk to that dirty moroccan , i was chocked to hear that if that happened in england or in ireland it will be a big case in newspapers , compensation ....etc but there these sort of comments pass unnoticed in front of the mamangers of the company even if he complains , they can sack anybody whenever they feel like it , his job title is customer service in an office but from time to time his manager ask him to go and work in a warehouse doing physical labour his contract does not mention anything like that anyway i feel sorry for him and in the same time i feel shocked that a european country has this sort of systems , anyone with some info that i can pass on to him on the nationality thing thanks in advance. (his plan is to get nationaliy and move from Holland with his wife ) thank you//en.yabiladi.com/topics/immigrant-holland-44-2049832-2049832.html#msg-2049832 Fri, 05 Jun 2026 13:47:32 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
