Hello
I am an EU citizen living in Canada. I am thinking of moving to the Netherlands, looking for details on eligibility for health care and social security. I am not looking for handouts/"free ride".
My situation: left the EU right after university. Never paid taxes in the EU. If/when I move to the Netherlands, I will likely not work (or I will do part time consulting for a Canadian company).
The question: can I buy into/pay for the health care? Can I become eligible upon purchasing real estate and thus paying property taxes? Or do I have to work for a Dutch company and pay income taxes to gain access to the social security/health care services in the Netherlands?
The guidance will be greatly appreciated.
