In an effort to establish a more secure legal residence in a different EU country, separate from the one where my current living permission is issued. I have engaged in a weekly commute between Ghent (BE) and Sas van Gent (NL) along the Gent-Terneuzen canal for nearly six months, relying on my trusty bike. This routine not only bolsters my sense of security but also provides substantial proof for the forthcoming visa review, facilitated by the convenient accessibility of AMT in these border towns. To underscore my continuous presence in the Netherlands and mitigate potential risks tied to my visa status, I have exclusively utilized Dutch cash to cover my activities in Belgium. Even after successfully obtaining the new permission, I find myself with a surplus of 20 euros, a testament to the efficacy of this cross-border lifestyle.
