    Nope. Same security, quicker immigration.

    No issue with nationality.

    You need to fill in the form (possible online) and arrange an interview.

    There is a guy from immigration who checks your passport and then you get your card issued straight away. Only issue is that you have to make sure you have a couple of hrs free in AMS to do this.

    I'm on hourly... strangely at the clients request as they said that extra hours could be the norm later on in the contract

    I work in eindhoven though, so i finish at 6pm, get the train to schiphol and the next flight is the 9.10 one

    D6 by any chance?
    Not always D6 - seems to change every week, was D4 last friday
