If you are citizen of Switzerland or a country in the European Union or European Economic Area<\/a>, you are entitled to study at any Dutch educational institute for higher education of your choice. You do not have to apply for a student residence permit and Dutch educational institutions will entitle you to the same rights as students with a Dutch nationality. The remainder of this article is relevant for Israeli students who aspire to study in higher education in the Netherlands and have no EU\/EEA or Swiss nationality.<\/p>\n Dutch educational institutes warmly welcome international students. Though some international students are required to attend a preparatory year before starting their program of choice; for instance to learn Dutch or improve English language skills.<\/p>\n If you wish to request a student residence permit for the Netherlands, you have to meet general conditions that apply to each type of residence permit, namely 1) You have a valid passport or travel document, 2) You do not have any criminal records as stated in a antecedents form, 3) You will take a medical test for tuberculosis upon arrival in the Netherlands. Apart from these general conditions, there are three specific conditions for a student residence permit:<\/p>\n Only the (applied) university of your choice can apply for your student residence permit, unless they are a registered sponsor with the Immigration and Naturalisation Services (IND). Whether an application for a entrance visa (MVV)<\/a> is also necessary depends on your nationality. The IND will decide on your application within 60 days and inform the university about the decision. In case of a positive decision, you may collect the residence permit at the IND in the Netherlands. In case of a MVV, you can collect the MVV at the Dutch embassy or consulate in your country. The student residence permit is valid for the duration of your studies plus an additional three months, with a maximum of 5 years.<\/p>\n When you arrive in the Netherlands, you are obliged to register in the Municipal Personal Records Database (BRP)<\/a> in the municipality where you are going to live. This is an obligation for any foreign national staying in the Netherlands for over 4 months. If you are staying in Holland for your studies only, you should have health coverage from your own country. If you combine your studies with and internship for which you receive at least the Dutch minimum wage<\/a> or if you have a part-time job in Holland, you are subject to compulsory Dutch health insurance.<\/p>\n Are you ready to hit the ground running at the (applied) university of your choice in the Netherlands, though struggling with the application procedure or wondering if you meet the conditions? We are here to guide you through the process until you are ready to go.
