STUDENT VISA PROCESS
To
enter Netherlands for study purposes, people from most countries need a
visa. This is a sticker placed in your passport at the Dutch embassy or
consulate in your own country, but it must be applied for well in
advance.
Short stay visa
For a stay of less than three months, you might need a short stay visa (Visum Kort Verblijf), depending on your nationality.
Authorization for temporary stay
If
you will be staying for longer than three months, you need an
authorization for temporary stay (Machtiging tot Voorlopig Verblijf, or
MVV). This requirement does not apply to citizens of EU/EEA member
states, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Switzerland or
Monaco.
The regular application procedure for an MVV
may take three to six months, sometimes even longer. The Dutch host
institution can apply for an MVV on your behalf using a fast-track
procedure. But to do this, the institution must give the authorities a
guarantee, which they sign. Institutions will not always agree to do
this. But it is worth asking the institution about the fast-track
procedure, because it will save both time and trouble.
Residence permit
Within
three days after arriving in Holland, all foreign nationals must
register with the local authorities. Those intending to stay for longer
than three months also need to obtain a residence permit
(verblijfsvergunning). You may need this even if you did not require a
visa to enter the country. The administration fee is rather high and
currently stands at € 430 .
Nationals of EU member
states are not strictly required to have a residence permit, but it is
advisable for them to obtain a residence document (costs € 28) to avoid
hassles when dealing with certain authorities and companies.
Work permit
In
order to follow an internship or work placement in Holland, students
from outside the EU/EEA need a work permit (Tewerkstellingsvergunning)
in addition to their entry visa. Your employer must apply for this
permit for you. You also need a work permit if you want to take paid
work alongside your studies. There are two options if you want to work
while you study: either less than ten hours a week year-round, or
full-time during the months of June, July and August only. If you have
successfully completed your program of higher education, you may apply
for a residence permit valid for five years. To do this, you must have a
contract of employment.
