Hello Dr. Nilsson — based on your 5 years experience in Sweden, your estimated starting salary in Amsterdam is €7,800/mo. Shall we begin your BIG application?
Yes — what documents do I need for the language requirement?
For the Netherlands you need a B2+ certificate. I've found 3 schools in Stockholm offering intensive medical Dutch. Want me to enrol you in a free consultation?
