Most Dutch emigrants and expats sometimes want to return to the Netherlands. According to travel agency WTC.nl (World Ticket Center), there are more and more bookings from Dutch people abroad.
In 2013, ticket bookings for Amsterdam Schiphol showed a remarkable growth curve: 11,7% growth compared to 2012. Of the total number flight tickets to Amsterdam, people opt for a one-way trip in almost 60% of the cases. That is remarkable, because a return ticket is often cheaper. Most travelers come from Spain, which ranks 10th Thailand.
The reason for the explosive growth can be explained, among other things, by an increase among expats who will settle in the Netherlands in the coming years. Overwinterers from warm countries book single trips so that they can spend the summer in their homeland, the Netherlands. This also applies to internships abroad.
In addition to family visits by Dutch people living abroad, there is also a significant increase in business trips to Amsterdam. This trend is expected to continue in 2014, given the economic recovery in the Netherlands.
The top 10 countries:
- Spain
- USA
- Morocco
- England
- Turkey
- Italy
- Indonesia
- Russia
- South Africa
- Thailand
Regular return to the Netherlands also has to do with the visa requirement that Thailand expats sometimes cause problems. In addition, we should not forget the Dutch government, which, with its sometimes absurd regulations, leaves expats no choice but to return from time to time. for example, registration in a GBA system, banking, medical examinations and so on, while the same government opens its doors wide to so-called family reunifications from other countries, but has no eye for expats with exotic wives/girlfriends. why no discrimination……….
if I may speak for myself, I also regularly return to the Netherlands because I miss the climate changes and so everyone will have an argument to return, if only to be able to follow the multitude of grandchildren to honor Wim Sonneveld for a while .
When I look at the list, I see the names of 7 countries where the standard of living is lower or the unemployment rate is higher than in the Netherlands.
Strange that the term -businessman- falls here. Which foreign businessman takes a one-way ticket? Or was that meant that Schiphol will have to process more landing passengers. That is possible, says nothing about whether this passenger stays or flies away again?.
It's just over with the fun
I myself have to wait until I am 66 before I CAN go to Thailand.
you can't do much without money.
even the black money owners are coming back, because they are really being dealt with now in EUROPE.
I always planned to go to Thailand when I was 57 years old.
but by the Hague policymakers it is now 66 years,
is it 9 years that you lost !!!

Fortunately, I don't have to participate in this yet to consider a return ticket to Amsterdam in the short term.
But if there was a reason to buy a ticket to AMS .
Then it is certainly the gigantic air pollution and smoke here in the north of Thailand.
This morning around 07.00 I did not know what I saw , or rather what I did not see .
Everything was blue, the view around 500 meters was already obscured.
How can a person still live in that mess .

I think this also has to do with people on benefits because they are not allowed to stay abroad all year round and that is what most do.
And they are going to check that now, so it must be that they are going back en masse.
ball ball .
You shouldn't think but know for sure.
Now it is possible that people have been misled by your thinking .
Personally, 11 years ago I had written permission to leave the once beautiful Netherlands.
If I only see all the parking fees I will never come back .
In addition, I no longer have to pay taxes to NL.
That must be a reward because I worked hard from the age of 14 until my back gave out.
So for me no single trip and no return.
I think that he who is still going back to the Netherlands, except to see the family, has forgotten to do, say or arrange something when leaving the Netherlands. It is then a mandatory return?.
He who voluntarily leaves Thailand back to the Netherlands, for example, has spoiled things in Thailand.
You do not leave Thailand voluntarily.
It is not only expats who come to the Netherlands, I have a restaurant in the Jordaan in Amsterdam and yesterday I had the first group of Thai people (50) who, among other things, have a holiday in Europe and had a three-day trip to Amsterdam. And indeed what strikes me is that more and more Thai people come to Amsterdam for a holiday.
