EU/EEA

Students with a nationality of a European Union or European Economic Area member state do not need an entry visa to enter or a residence permit to stay in the Netherlands. You can travel to and stay in the country with your valid EU/EEA passport.

Valid passport of one of the EU/EEA countries

Check the IND website for a list of all EU/EEA member states. If your country of origin is listed here, you don’t need an MVV entry visa or a Dutch residence permit (VVR). Please make sure that your current passport is valid for the duration of your study programme so that you can travel to and from the Netherlands.
