Hello Ramses K.,

Thank you Ramses, maybe it can be a good case for other expats who are sharing the similar cases with me. I am moving to NL on 4th of January, I've checked with my company they couldn't see a risk. Do you have any additional news or thoughts?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

You should be aware that there is a travel ban in place for some countries to enter the Netherlands.  The IND has issued updated information related to this; you can access this information from this link.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I want to inform everyone that from now untill at least januari 19 the Netherlands is in full lockdown. For more information see Government.nl.

There will be translations in other languages soon, I will post them when I find them.

Stay safe people!

I have a problem with the term full lockdown.
It is not,  you have strict regulations and your are still able to work, do groceries, going outdoors and socializing.
Full lockdown means the whole society is locked up for a partial period of time.

I know but this is for the Netherlands a very strict lockdown. You know how bad us Dutch are for following rules and guide lines.

It has a huge impact for everyone, not only the Dutch 

Yes of course! Let us hope we all can be vaccinated soon.
