For nationalities that need an entry visa (MVV) and residence permit (VVR)
This information is for students who are NOT citizens of the EU/EEA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Monaco, Vatican City, USA, South Korea, and are NOT in possession of a valid EU-residence permit.
The cost for a student residence permit and entry visa (called MVV) is €210. This fee is non-refundable.
It is not possible to apply for an entry visa while in the Netherlands, nor is it possible to study at the university if you travel to the Netherlands on a tourist visa. You are only allowed to pick up your entry visa in a country other than the one corresponding with your nationality if you have been legally staying in that country for more than three months. In other words, you cannot pick up your entry visa at a holiday destination. It is also not possible to have the entry visa issued in the Netherlands.
If you have a residence permit or a long stay visa issued by a Schengen state, you do not need an entry visa for the Netherlands. You can find information about the Schengen countries here.
