Dutch immigrants can apply for independent residence cards for their children.

I. Requirements for applying for independent residence of children

1. came to the Netherlands as a minor.

A prerequisite for applying for independent residence is that the child has obtained a residence permit to come to the Netherlands to reunite with his parents before reaching the age of 18. In addition, parents' right of abode must be temporary. Non-temporary residency includes: high-tech immigration, self-employment residence, and labor residence. If the parents' place of residence is student residence, job-seeking residence or internal dispatch visa (ICT), they cannot apply for independent residence for their children.

2. Holding a family reunion residence for more than one year.

The child has been detained for more than one year (that is, at least one year and one day). Children born in the Netherlands can apply for independent residence without waiting for a year as long as they get a residence permit that depends on their parents.

Second, the benefits of children's independent residence card

The advantage of children living independently is that their right of abode no longer depends on their parents' right of abode. If one parent is a worker or a high-tech immigrant, it means that the right of abode of the whole family depends on the boss of the worker or high-tech immigrant. If the work contract expires or you lose your job for some reason, the residence card of this worker or high-tech immigrant family will be in danger. However, if the child has obtained independent residency, the child can still stay in the Netherlands even if the parents lose the residency.

Of course, in practice, living independently is more meaningful for older children. If your child has already gone to middle school, or plans to stay in the Netherlands for university in the future, I suggest you apply for independent residence for your child as soon as possible. Once the application is successful, the child can get a five-year residence card, which allows the cardholder to work freely without any additional work permit.

After applying for a children's independent card, 1.000% failed. It is possible that the cost of the immigration office is around 55 euros, and the handling fee charged by the sea life housekeeper is relatively low. So 1.8 years old, parents haven't got a long-term residence card in the Netherlands, so they can give their children the opportunity to apply for an independent card, which is a good guarantee for living in the Netherlands.
