Tourist laws? How long can you stay?

12 years ago

Hey Folks,
We're Americans and currently living in Costa Rica.

We're thinking about a move to Holland next year.

Here in Costa Rica when you enter as a tourist you are given 90 days. What we do is leave the country every 3 months for 72 hours and come back. Easy as that.

How does it work in Holland? If we're planning on moving there, but only being there for a year or two, we obviously don't want to seek residency. What are the laws concerning being legal in the country?

Also, I won't be working in the country (I work online) so that won't play a part I don't think.

Also, we won't have a car so I won't need to worry about any sort of residency issues and owning a vehicle.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
