Information for international graduates
You will need to hand in a copy of your UvA Bachelor's or Master's diploma. You can have a certified copy made at the information desk of the Central Student Service Desk at the UvA. Make sure to bring your original diploma.
If you have not yet received your diploma when you visit the IND, you need to submit an IND appendix called Statement on completion of study. This is a declaration of graduation. The form has to be filled out by you and the Student Administration of the UvA. You can find this form below.
If you’re living abroad and your previous residence permit has expired, you will need to start the procedure for Entry and Residence. In this procedure you apply for a provisional residence permit, i.e. your entry visa, and a residence permit simultaneously.
You can contact the Dutch embassy or consulate in your country of residence for more information.
