How to Get a Student Visa for the Netherlands

  • 26 Aug 2021

After you have figured out which country is suitable for your studies abroad and have chosen the Netherlands, the next step is to go through the visa application process. Nobody really enjoys this stage, mainly because it requires a lot of time for organizing, collecting, and preparing all the documents and relevant information. However, applying for a student visa for the Netherlands is not so complicated, especially since not all international students have to do it. Apply to a Dutch university and get your acceptance letter If you’re still not sure where you want to study in the Netherlands, you will have to decide before you can start your student visa application process. After being accepted at a Dutch university, you’ll get an acceptance letter required for the visa application. If you need a visa, your university should contact you and start the application. If this doesn't happen, contact them and ask for support. After the university receives the approval from the Immigration Service, they will inform you. The next step is finding the closest embassy or consulate in your country and applying for the entry visa (MVV). Consider some of the best universities in the Netherlands: • Utrecht University • Eindhoven University of Technology • Radboud University • Wageningen University and Research • Erasmus University Rotterdam • Tilburg University • University of Twente Student visa vs residence permit in the Netherlands First things first: you will NOT need a student visa or a residence permit if you're from the EU/EEA or several other countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, South Korea, the US, and the Vatican City). But what happens if you're an international student from a different country? It depends on the length of your stay/studies: ? a short stay visa or a Schengen visa is required if you plan to study in the Netherlands for 90 days or less. ? an entry visa (MVV) and a residence permit (VVR) are required if you plan to study in the Netherlands for more than 90 days. Just like the short stay visa, the MVV is only valid for 90 days and should be followed by the application for a VVR. When and where to apply for the study visa (MVV) ? Your university should start the application procedure. If this doesn't happen, contact them directly. After the university's request is approved, you can apply for an entry visa at a local embassy or consulate in your country. ? You can collect the MVV after up to three months. ? The processing time for your visa application usually lasts one month, but this depends on your nationality and other factors.
