Visas & Customs Requirements

Students:

Students from EU member nations and students from Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, South Korea, and USA do not require obtaining student visa to study in Holland.

Some universities from Holland apply for student visa on bahalf of the student.

Documents required to apply for Dutch student visa:

• A passport with validity of 1 month beyond date of completion of course
• Letter of acceptance from University in Holland
• Evidence of enough funds to study and live in Holland
• Transcripts of previous academic achivements

These are the general documents required to be submitted while applying for a Dutch student visa. The requirements may vary according to your country of residence. The above mentioned documents are general documents which is necessary to obtain student visa to study in Netherlands.

Residence Permits for Students

Within three days after arriving in Holland, non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens who are staying in the Netherlands for either a short or long stay, 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. Although the law requires the foreigners mentioned above to register with the Aliens Police, in reality this will not always be possible. Your host institution will know whether or not it is possible to register with the Aliens Police in the town where you are staying.

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 to avoid hassle when dealing with certain authorities and companies.

Work Permit:

In order to do 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. If you’re a foreign student (non–EU/EEA/Swiss) and you have a valid residence permit with the aim to study, you can work alongside your studies (either full-time, seasonal work in June, July and August, or part-time work of no more than ten hours a week). In this case your Dutch employer does need a work permit for you, but this is an easy process as the employer doesn’t need to show that there are Dutch or EU nationals capable of doing the job. As an EU/EEA/Swiss student you are free to work as many hours as you like alongside your studies. Your employer doesn’t need to have a work 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 higher education programme, you may apply for a residence permit valid for five years. To do this, you must have a contract of employment.
