Well Philp 1 As I said in my last comment just pack up and go back to where you came from. It must be so much better there, living with barbed wire fences surrounding people houses and all the racial problems. A good friend of mine worked there and another guy I worked with, a South African from Johannesburg, told about how life was in the country. Great weather and countryside but lots of problems. Again, why do people come on these websites just to moan, just looking for sympathy?

We dont have that much money to just say ok we pack and go We have kids And what they gave up now already they must just finish studies to have something before we can leave (was enormous cost to het them this far and they lost year of lives too, we think as family) So we have to stay till that done(studie) I am not alone so cant pack and go like a traveler in search Yes SA is bit unstable But it is still better in many ways The last over 12 years there we were fine, yes we had a alarm system etc But we enjoyed life We could live We were free We did things that is impossible here as just too damn expensive impossible Here you are controlled Mostly due to taxes and ways restricting what you want to do making it only for the super rich You must do here a routine controlled by government (you wont think so, but google a bit on youtube and think in detail, you will see what i mean) O and my daughter was robbed here already, so .... Yes as i already told you When kids done and my work done here Then we will leave with a smile So stop saying it responsibilities for family now first We looked to leave but not financially possible after we invested a massive lot here Well it is now 3 years 2 months and counting then gone so dont worry we going Secondly Looking at what is happening in europe Withing few years i think the same will happen here regarding safety So i dont think people will be any better of here Its happening in uk france germany etc Everyone is talking about a war here in europe soon due to the mass immigration SA is now at low point but here it is still coming, then it Will be mostly done there and better So then even worse, no safety also So as soon as our responsibilities done then bye bye And not to Johannesburg, that is the bad part to be anyway And we dont moan we say how we feel of our choices and how we see it So others can also know to not make this mistake We really thought we could adapt But as others also said We battle to make friends The guys at work like me as i help them more and better than their own dutch coleages so they all ask me for help Nice feeling What does that tell you...not me being an idiot We dont really believe in having work people as friends as not always good for work relations We know our nabours by seeing and greeting and that is about it with responsibilities it is not as easy as pack and go Too many things that now must be done (study work etc) Otherwise we would have been back already A family member visited us now from SA due to a meeting We asked after here if also will live here Answer was looking against SA No They will be Staying there We came here by too little info If we had more info on this then we never would have come This can help future people thinking of coming Just think twice |

Denmark is like NL, maybe even worse, so not a place you want to go to anyway. To get this permit you need to do integration (inburgering), which consists of 5 exams and a job search portfolio. This should be done as soon as possible as it can take months to get appointments and results. Here is the NL immigration website for that permit application: https://ind.nl/Paginas/EU-langdurig-ingezetene.aspx I understand what you mean that gov guides everyone to lead the same life. It is a very homogeneous country, not sure imo if it's a product of gov social engineering or just the culture. It's part of what makes it a very boring place imo. I submitted by application recently and am awaiting the decision (they have to make it within 6 months), once it's granted I'm outta here! |
