To study in the Netherlands, non-EU/EEA students typically need a student visa (MVV) and a residence permit. Begin by applying to a recognized Dutch educational institution. Once accepted, the institution will request your visa and residence permit on your behalf through the Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND).
Required documents include a valid passport, proof of admission, financial means (around €11,400 per year), and health insurance. The process takes up to 60 days. EU/EEA students only need to register with local authorities upon arrival. Always check the IND website for updates on requirements and procedures.
