Cost of VISA/Residence permit

Visa

Foreign students and guests from non-EU/EEA and VISA required countries who are staying in the Netherlands longer than 3 months, have to apply for a permit for temporary stay (i.e. Machtiging tot Voorlopig Verblijf = MVV). In order to obtain the visa (MVV) students need some proof of solvency or scholarship with a minimum of € 752,82 per month for the period of their stay. The fee for your visa will be € 250. The university prepays this for you when applying for your visa by the so called Accelerated Visa Procedure; upon arrival you are expected to reimburse the university and also to pay the costs for the temporary residence permit. You can do this in the Erasmus Student Service Centre, room CB-07 in the Main Lecture Hall, opening hours daily from 9.30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.

Temporary residence permit

After arrival in the Netherlands, students have to apply for a temporary residence permit at a cost of € 188; this amount applies if you needed a visa to enter the country.

Students who don't need a visa also have to apply for a temporary residence permit when staying longer than 90 days. The fee is € 433.

You have to pay the fee for your residence permit when you register at the Erasmus Student Service Centre (main lecture hall, room CB-07).

When you pay by credit card an extra fee will be charged. In that case one pays € 197,40 or     € 451,65.
