Entry visa/residence permit

Important

All international students, except students from EU/EEA and Switzerland, who wish to attend Utrecht University for more than 3 months are obliged to obtain a Dutch study residence permit.

Good to know; Dutch residence permits are issued by the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND). You cannot apply to the IND for an entry visa (MVV) and/or residence permit (VVR) for study purposes yourself. The Visa Office at Utrecht University will apply on your behalf. This means we are your only point of contact during the residence permit application procedure.
