The permit will be granted within a maximum time period of 90 days (but usually much faster), after which you can immigrate to the Netherlands. The government administration fee for the request will be €930,-- for the main applicant and €430,-- for your partner. If your children are younger than 15 years old, there request will cost €50,--. If not, the government fee will be €430,-- per child.
  5. The residence permit will be for 3 years. After this period you can request a change of your residency ground/base. After in total 5 years (thus 3 years + 2) you can get a permanent residence permit (and a Dutch passport). If you do not want to change the residency ground/base, you should leave EU for 6 months and can return to the Netherlands after this period.
