I want to study in the Netherlands

The university or school where you want to study can apply for a residence permit for you after you have been admitted. This educational institution must be approved as a sponsor. The Openbaar Register Onderwijs (Public Education Register) maintained by the Immigration & Naturalisation Service (Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst, or ‘IND’) shows whether an institution is approved.

Ask the university or school where you want to study whether they can apply for a residence permit for you.

If you would like to find out what the requirements are for studying in the Netherlands, e-mail or call our attorneys for a telephone consultation without obligation.
