Hi

I am currently living in South Africa. I am looking to move to Amsterdam but I have no idea how to go about starting the process.

Do i need to get a Visa first or do i need to find a job first.

Can anyone help with any information.

Thanks

I would actually start here: amsterdam.com/en/living/expatcenter

This is IND and City of Amsterdam together. You will get all of your legal questions sorted here.
