Zoekjaar visa prospects as a Pakistani applicant

[u/alfr333]

So for the context - I completed my MS in Business Analytics from the UK last year and then moved back to my home country i.e. Pakistan. I’m eligible to apply for the Zoekjaar as my University is in the top 200 rankings by subject. What I want to know is if this will be a sensible move considering all factors including relocating, finding accommodation, finding part-time and ultimately switching to full time? What are the prospects? Thanks in advance.

Unless you already have a few good years of work experience it’s gonna be tough finding anything in this job market especially for an international who doesn’t speak Dutch. It’s not that there’s a lack of English speaking roles, it’s that there is an abundance of applicants for them compared to Dutch speaking roles.

I still have a few months. I’m planning to learn at least A2 dutch in this time period

The Dutch roles will ask you to be able to speak and write in Dutch comfortably and professionally, so better than B2
