Halooohaa! Berikut peraturan terbaru dari IND Belanda tentang MVV. Nah berhubung episode kali ini hanya copy paste, jadi tulisannya rada nyambung kaya kereta api. Siapkan kacamata. Tarik napas dalem2 dan...tahan sampek bacannya selesai :P Semoga bisa jadi acuan, kawan! Amendments to the conditions for family migration A number of measures in the area of family migration have been included in the Coalition and Parliamentary Support Agreement. These measures were published in the Bulletin of Acts and Decrees [Staatsblad] on 11 April 2012 and will take effect on 1 July 2012. The amendments are as follows: Family reunification and formation: Only married partners are eligible for family reunification and formation. Unmarried partners may not apply for family reunification or formation. An exception applies for partners who are unable to marry in the foreign national’s country of origin (see ‘temporary marriage visa’). Sponsors who have a residence permit may only bring a partner over to join them in the Netherlands if they have lived in the Netherlands for at least one year. This condition does not apply to sponsors who have a regular provisional residence permit with a temporary purpose of stay within the meaning of the Civic Integration Decree [Besluit Inburgering]. The ‘extended family reunification’ purpose of stay has been abolished. Other: The eligibility period for a permit of continued residence has been changed from 3 to 5 years. It is assumed that the Netherlands is no longer the principal residence (and therefore eligibility for a residence permit is lost) after six months (formerly nine months). It is no longer possible to apply for residence for the ‘family visit’ purpose of stay. Date of applicability? The measures will take effect on 1 July 2012. Applications submitted before 1 July 2012 (including requests for advice on the issue of a provisional residence permit (MVV)) will be assessed on the basis of current policy; the new measures do not yet apply to these applications. The new measures do apply to applications submitted after 30 June 2012. Foreign nationals who currently have a residence permit for a purpose of stay that will be abolished with effect from 1 July 2012 will retain this residence permit and may also renew it as from 1 July 2012. The temporary marriage visa Unmarried partners are no longer eligible for family reunification or formation, unless they are prevented from marrying under the laws of the foreign national’s country of origin. If partners are unable to marry in the country of origin, an application for a regular provisional residence permit for the purpose of ‘entering into a marriage or registered civil partnership’ may be submitted. This permit is valid for six months and its sole purpose is to enable the partners to marry in the Netherlands. If the marriage is concluded within six months (or the civil partnership is registered within six months), the permit can be changed into a permit for permanent stay with spouse or registered civil partner. Applications for a temporary marriage visa can only be submitted as from 1 July 2012. It must be evident that the partners are legally prevented from marrying in the foreign national’s country of origin, for example, if marriage between same-sex partners is not permitted under the laws of the country of origin. The following conditions also apply for the temporary marriage visa: Both partners are 21 years or older. The sponsor has a provisional residence permit with a non-temporary purpose of stay and has lived in the Netherlands for at least one year. Both partners must prove that they are single. The partner (foreign national) coming to the Netherlands has a valid travel document (for example passport). The partner (foreign national) coming to the Netherlands has taken and passed the Basic Civic Integration Examination Aboard or has been granted an exemption. This partner does not have to take the examination if he or she does not need a provisional residence permit. The partner (foreign national) coming to the Netherlands does not constitute a danger to public order and is prepared to undergo tuberculosis testing (if necessary). The partner in the Netherlands (the sponsor) has sufficient long-term income. Civil marriage The partners who have a temporary marriage visa and wish to marry or enter into a registered civil partnership in the Netherlands must do so within 6 months. The municipal authorities will request documents in order to be able to conclude the marriage or register the civil partnership. Collecting these documents can cost a lot of time because, for example, the foreign national has to bring these documents with him or her from the country of origin. Therefore, it is advisable to inquire which documents the municipal authorities require and which conditions the documents must comply with before the foreign national comes to the Netherlands. Costs The costs for the provisional residence permit (MVV) application and the regular residence permit (VRR) application without MVV amount to € 1,250. The costs for the VVR application after MVV amount to € 300. The application to change the residence permit with restriction into a residence permit for permanent stay with spouse is free of charge provided that: • the marriage was concluded before expiration of the term of validity of the temporary marriage visa (therefore within the period of six months) and • the application to change the residence permit with restriction into a residence permit for permanent stay with spouse is submitted before expiration of the term of validity of the temporary marriage visa. by olin
