Is your spouse a Dutch citizen or do they hold a different EU nationality?DreamStudent33 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 10:12 amYes. Ok. That makes sense. Hopefully we will move to the Netherlands soon so I can obtain the correct EEA card. Thank you for your reply.
Excellent, should be easy for you to get a residence card in the Netherlands, then.DreamStudent33 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 9:57 amHe is not a Dutch citizen but we will be moving to the Netherlands for his career.
Ok I will speak with the University about this matter soon.ALKB wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 10:40 amExcellent, should be easy for you to get a residence card in the Netherlands, then.DreamStudent33 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 9:57 amHe is not a Dutch citizen but we will be moving to the Netherlands for his career.
Do contact your prospective university regarding fees - you may qualify for a 50% reduction in fees for the first year if you haven't studied before, for instance.
Generally, there also seems to be an age factor under/over 30 years, but I haven't looked through all the angles there.
That's why you should contact the university. One of the sources I found just says 'who hasn't studied before' another says 'who has not completed a degree program in the Netherlands' it also says it's for Dutch and EU students and I understand you should also fall into that category but you really need specialised advice from someone who is up to date on freedom of movement and the Dutch university system. Make clear that you are/will be in the Netherlands under EU freedom of movement rules!DreamStudent33 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 10:45 amOk I will speak with the University about this matter soon.ALKB wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 10:40 amExcellent, should be easy for you to get a residence card in the Netherlands, then.DreamStudent33 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 9:57 amHe is not a Dutch citizen but we will be moving to the Netherlands for his career.

Could you explain more about the age factor? I am over 30 years old. How does this play into the tuition fees?
Also you have mentioned 50% reduction in fees, only for the first year? I have attended university in the USA for more than 2 years.
If you'd have an easy commute to a German university it would be worth looking into. State universities don't have tuition fees, there may be an admin fee of 500 € or so and that usually includes a semester ticket for public transport (I think in the entire province but that may be Brandenburg-specific) that's worth a lot more than the fee paid.DreamStudent33 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 1:28 pmOk very helpful.
The location we will be moving is still unclear.
Do you know a bit about university policies in Germany?
