Guide to Immigration Procedures for Students from:
Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, South Korea, USA and Vatican City State.
Entry visa
You do not need a visa to enter the Netherlands, neither for a short, nor for a long stay. All you need is a valid passport.
Formalities on arrival
- For a stay of up to three months: You are required to report to the local immigration authorities (Aliens Police) within three days of your arrival. Read how to report to the Aliens Police.
- For a stay of more than three months: You are required to report to the local immigration authorities (Aliens Police) within three days of your arrival. You also need to register with the local municipality (Gemeentelijke Basisadministratie, GBA) as an inhabitant of the municipality within five days of your arrival. Furthermore you need to apply for a residence permit. Your host institution (university or university of applied sciences) can apply for the permit on your behalf, but until August 1st, 2008, you can also do it yourself. In case you stay in the Netherlands for a traineeship or to get work experience you have to go to the IND office that is established in your region.
Work permit (Tewerkstellingsvergunning: TWV)
You do need a work permit before you may work in the Netherlands. The following academic activities, among others, count as working: lecturing, doing a student traineeship or work placement, conducting research, and pursuing a doctorate or PhD (as AIO, for example). The employer must apply to the Central Organisation for Work and Income for your work permit.
If you have a residence permit for study purposes you may earn money on the side. Such work must be either seasonal (in June, July and/or August) or comprise no more than ten hours a week. Also in this case, your employer must apply for a work permit for you, but simplified rules apply according to the Dutch Foreign Labour Act (Wet arbeid vreemdelingen, Wav).
Registering with the university
You need to register at your host institution (university or university of applied sciences) when you arrive, not only for getting your class schedules, but also to comply with immigration procedures. The host institution will want to see proof that you have reported to the Aliens Police/the municipality and, if applicable, applied for a residence permit.
Health insurance
You must be insured against the costs of medical treatment. This is a requirement under Dutch law.
