Good Day!

I hope you can help! I have just got a job in Zwolle, Netherlands and will be moving there in 2 months time. Only problem is I want my girlfriend to come with me.

How easy is this to do? does she need to secure a job in NL before she can come over? She is a qualified graphic designer but we are having trouble trying to find a job for her in that field. What are our options?

your help would be really appreciated!

Hi,
It depends what nationality your gf is. Its quite easy to move to NL if she's from Australia/Canada/New Zealand/US.
Im not sure if she needs a job first to move here as most likely you will be her sponsorship. There are though some requirement to be a sponsorship of someone.

Indeed it can be difficult to find a job here esp Zwolle is not really a big city (read wikipedia). Its never wrong to learn the language first to increase chances to get a job.
Being self employed as graphic designer (working online) also maybe can be an option.
