After
1,5 year being together, me and my boyfriend decided to go continue our life
back in his country. The decision was bit hard for him, because he loves Bali
so much, as for me, it just another exciting chapter of my life.
We
decided to live in Nederland ( as I write the country, I wasn’t sure on the
correct spelling anymore, that I need to google), with partner visa ( or visum
as my BF keep saying, now that I look back, he often used word in its origin
language, like visum, musea – as in museum, aquaria – as in aquarium ), where
this partner visa or MVV allows this foreign partner to live for max 5 years (
if the law hasn’t change), and work.
At
the end of January we bought the ticket ( one way ticket to NL ) for June 30th
for me and march 28 for my BF. He needs to go back first so he can prepare for
my arrival. Take care off the legal work and a work itself.
The
MVV required you to pass the Inburgering Examen, a test for your Dutch Language
Understanding and Culture, I have to admit, it gives me creeps and worries,
specially since I’m self tought, no informal
course or tought by a teacher etc, well, for sure my BF was helping me
the best he can do, and the sweetest part in order for me to pass this test and
to do it well, he bought me this course book called Naar Nederland.
MVV
Requirements
To
registers and get the Visa, you must complete this requriments :
- Pass the Inburgering Examen ( The Dutch Knowledge
Test )
- Legalisation of papers from Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and Ministry of Justice.
- Fill in the form ( #rollingmyeyes )
- Proof of your Dutch partner employment status and
life ( prolly they need to make sure that your partner is able to feed you
)
Preparing
for the Inburgering Examen
It takes me almost 3
months to finish the book, since I have goal to finish and have the test at the
end of April, Yesterday was the last chapter, now all I have to do is repeat
and re-read some of the words and memorise the important words.
I
have also been searching and reading about the review and experince from some
people who did the test, and they said that it’s not difficult ( well –
hopefully its not. Lord have mercy ).
They
have this video regarding the Dutch Cultures, and basically a book for your
badic dutch language.
I
hope I slay those like seriously
Back
to the MVV requirments, one of them are sorting all my legal paper. As you
might now ( or not ), Indonesia are not big fan of effective administration
system, the beaurocracy is so ridiculous, that I need to start all those paper
early. So I begin to sort all the paper such as the legalization of my birth
certificate and and Letter of aknowledgement that I haven’t been married which
is being legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affair and Justice Minister (
what the F was all that about ???, but I guess they want to make sure that my
BF didn’t do the human trafficking by bringing this asian girl to his country ).
Takes me 3 weeks to do the first step of those legalize paper, since Indonesia
has some level of government administration, aaaaannnnndd yes, they all need
those stamps fromt those levels.
Now
it’s 2 weeks to my test. Must say that I’m a little bit nervous. I have bought
my ticket to Jakarta and book a hotel, prepareing to stay for 3 days to do the
test and go to this ministry departments. Hopefully everyting will turn out to
be well. !!!! HAVE TO !!!
Oh and btw this post is the continouance from my last post of SURVIVING THE BIG WHITE ELEPHANT.
