Hi Marlene and welcome to the Forum.

As an EU passport holder, you have the right to live and work anywhere in the EU, that includes the Netherlands, so no problem in applying for residence permits and work visas.

You haven't told us what you do, but the Dutch are very big in qualifications and relevant experience.  If you work in any regulatory role, you will need to be able to speak, read, write in Dutch to a high level.  If you have qualifications, check to make sure they are recognised in the Netherlands, if they're not, find out what you need to do so they are.

If you have no qualifications and are just looking for "work", then it's harder, mainly because of COVID and the effect that's had on the Dutch job market; many people are looking for work.

At the top of this page is a link to our Discover section, if you mouse over that, you'll get access to our Discover Amsterdam guide; if you open that, then read it and any links it provides, it may answer many questions you may have.

If you have any specific questions, please come back to us.

Hope this helps.
