Study in Netherlands – First Steps

If you only need a Netherlands student visa for under three months then it would make sense to apply for a short stay visa or Visum Kort Verblijf which is easier to get than a longer visa for Netherlands but understandably has more restrictions.

If you are staying for longer than three months while you study in Holland then you’ll have to get authorisation for temporary stay (MVV – Machtiging tot Voorlopig Verblijf) if you are not a citizen of the EU/EEA or the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or other nations who are members of the relevant treaty.

The MVV application process can take anywhere from three to six months, and while the university or educational institution can apply for it on your behalf using the fast track procedure, it is difficult to do. The institution signs a guarantee and must provide other documents that are time- and resource-intensive, which means many will choose not to do this, even if it could affect your Netherlands Student Visa.

Global Visas can advise on how to get this student visa for Netherlands fast-tracked and finished with minimum stress and time wasted. We have teams of immigration experts located around the world to help you begin your journey to study in Netherlands today.

Study in Netherlands – Upon Arrival

Within the first three days of your arrival in the Netherlands on your Netherlands student visa, you will have to register with the local authorities. If you will study in the Netherlands for longer than three months then you need to acquire a residence permit (verblijfsvergunning), which costs a few hundreds Euros each. However if you are from some member states then you can avoid getting a residence permit to study in Holland, but it’s worth getting a residence document printed (which is much cheaper) to avoid future hassles with government and employers.

There are hopes that the Dutch parliament will make it easier for some people to get a student visa to the Netherlands.
