NL Cancellation of a Job offer After MVV is accepted

Hi I am an expat from Turkey and as you know we need MVV to work at NL.

Normally I got a offer from a company at NL and I followed the procedure and finally got my MVV printed on my passport and i am ready to go. Since I am working in a global company at my last week my current employer gave me a counter offer which provides to have relocation to NL; this offer is way better than the current one. So I want to take it.

1. Is there any risks to cancel a MVV and re-start the application process. Will that effect my second application?

2. There is a term in my agreement. If I cancel now (my start date is first of June) will there be any consequences for me reffering to following point:


Article 3.1
The employee is required to inform the employer if he no langer resides in the Netherlands and/or no langer wishes to come to the Netherlands. The employee must furthermore inform the employer if he no langer has independent sufficient means of subsistence. The employee must provide all this information to the employer within one week after such facts and circumstances have occurred. The employee furthermore undertakes to inform the employer about all other facts and circumstances that could affect his right of residence in the Netherlands or his/her right to lawfully perform paid employment in the Netherlands (including the - imminent - revocation of the MVV and/or residence permit and/or work permit or single permit ('gecombineerde vergunning voor verblijf en arbeid', abbreviated as 'GVVA')), such on pain of an immediately payable penalty to the employer of EUR 10,000 per incident of breach plus EUR 1,000 per day or portion of a day that such breach continues, without prejudice to the employer's right to demand compensation in full. In deviation from Section 7:650, paragraph 3 Dutch Civil Code ('Burgerlijk Wetboek'), this penalty will benefit the employer.

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

I've never seen anything like you've quoted; and phrases such as "such on pain of an immediately payable penalty to the employer of EUR 10,000 per incident of breach plus EUR 1,000 per day or portion of a day that such breach continues" has set my adviser's alarm bells ringing.  Are you sure this is legit, because it is practically unenforceable and reads just like the type of thing a scammer would produce?

Hope this helps.
