What is the best way to be with your boyfriend in Netherlands? My boyfriend doesn't have one year contract and that's the only requirement that he can't meet but he has a webshop. What should we do, so that we can be together?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

You haven't told us very much, so it's hard to be specific, but put simply, if you don't qualify for one of the family visas because your boyfriend doesn't meet the requirements, then the only other way is for you to get some kind of a work visa.  This link will take you to the Dutch Government department (IND) that lists all of them.

Hope this helps.
