Hello and welcome to the forum.

The first thing to do I think is to look at the IND's website and see if you guys fit all the requirements to apply for the MVV (long stay visa in the Netherlands).
Use this link:

https://ind.nl/en/family/Pages/Spouse-or-partner.aspx

Then after this, prepare for the basic civic integration exam. You will need this in order to apply for the MVV. After the results have been delivered to you and you have all your documents ready for submission, then you shall start the MVV process.

All the necessary Info you need can be found in the link. Good luck

Thanks for your help, now I'm in India so where and how to prepare to MVV and where to apply?

Is it possible to prepare and apply exam after I came to Netherland ? Or I must pass the exam in India?

This link has all information you need with regards to the application.

https://ind.nl/en/family/Pages/Spouse-or-partner.aspx

You will have to take the test first before applying, because the test is one of the major requirements if you want to live in the Netherlands.

You also have two options, it's either you apply to the Dutch embassy in India or your partner submits the application to IND in the Netherlands. ( Your partner lives in the Netherlands right?)

Please refer to the link above.

Hello valleb,
As far as I know you must have a valid 1 year contract at the time of the application.

I am afraid that no. One of the requirements is atleast a 1 year contract at the time of the application. The link above states all the details.
