How much money would I need to move from America to Amsterdam and still live comfortably?

The first thing you would need to do is apply for a visa to the Netherlands. To obtain a work visa, and immigrant status is VERY difficult. You need to show that you have a work skill that is needed there, have sufficient income to support yourself ( they will have a specificc figure), and may require that you have a job offer. It is very difficult to immigrate to a foreign country...most have very strict visa requirements and are Not SEEKING immigrants. You can go to the website of the the Embassy of the Netherlands ( listed below) and fill in the required info. Then you will be guided thru the visa application info. There is also contact info for their consulates in the U.S. You will need to contact the nearest consulate to make application and have an interview. Good luck in your research.

First of all, the Netherlands currency is the Euro. It is not the Guilder anymore. 1.00 USD = 0.745105 EUR. The exchange rate is bad for the current time.

wow, hhmmmmm if you are really sereous about this, you better look into this site here www.ind.nl there is an english link, you better follow what they ask for first, after that you can worry about the rest cause this is what is needed to get here in the first place, it ain't to easy no more to just move here and live and work here, rules, many rules. i believe on there you also find how much you need to earn to live here.

good luck

John right the exchange rate is bad for the current time, unless you hit the power ball just visit.

1 USD = 1.65 NLG (Netherland guilders). Decide how much money you need to comfortably live in the U.S. Convert this to Netherland money. That answers your question. I do not know about the job situation in Netherlands.

Charlie had a good answer but also try this web site

Also they don't have guilders anymore, they have euros! $1 for every 1.34 euros.

I don't know. What do you do? Besides smoke?
