Registering with the Aliens Police in the Netherlands - 22 Oct 2009
Non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens who are staying in the Netherlands for either a short or long stay, need to report to the local Aliens Police ('Vreemdelingendienst') within three days after arrival in the Netherlands.
The Aliens Police will put a sticker into your passport stating until which date you may stay in the Netherlands. This sticker is free of charge. The validity date will correspond with what is mentioned on your short-stay visa, if applicable.
Although the law requires the foreigners mentioned above to register with the Aliens Police, in practice it 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.
Finding your local Aliens Police office
You have to report to the local Aliens Police office. In order to find out its address and opening hours, you can ask a civil servant in the city hall, ask your host institution, or dial the national police telephone number 0900-8844.
Documents required when reporting to the Aliens Police
- A valid passport.
- Your address in the Netherlands.
- Proof that you can support yourself financially during your stay (€ 34 a day).
