We strongly advise you not to book a flight until your visa application has been approved and any travel restrictions have been lifted. If you are unsure if travel restrictions apply to you, please contact coia-studentsupport@hr.nl I. Which permits are required? Students from all countries except EU/EEA countries and Switzerland who wish to attend a study programme at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences for more than 3 months need a study residence permit. Depending on your situation, you will need one or both of the following permits: • MVV = Entrance visa to enter the Netherlands. The MVV is only valid for 3 months and will be collected in your home country. • VVR = Study Residence Permit. The VVR will be valid for your entire study period and will be collected in the Netherlands. MVV and VVR Students from all countries except EU/EEA countries and Switzerland VVR only (no MVV required) Students from Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, South Korea, UK, USA and Vatican City State Students with a valid residence permit from a Schengen country II. Before arrival As your recognised sponsor the Centre of International Affairs (CoIA) applies for a MVV and/or VVR on your behalf at the Dutch immigration office (IND). This process is done before you arrive in the Netherlands. A MVV and/or VVR costs €192,00. This fee is specified on your invoice and is nonrefundable. Students with the Sanmarinese and Israeli nationality are exempt from paying the MVV and/or VVR costs. General overview of the visa procedure: In our visa application video you can find an overview of the visa application procedure.

Proof of Sufficient Funds In order to obtain a study residence permit, the Dutch immigration office (IND) requires proof of sufficient funds. Exchange students need to show €922,00 for every month that they will be studying at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. The proof of sufficient funds can be shown in these 2 ways: 1. Bank transfer to the school’s bank account 2. Scholarship award letter 1. Bank transfer to the school’s bank account This means you will deposit the amount in our account to prove you have sufficient funds. You will receive an invoice with a total of €922 x the number of months that you will be studying at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. Refund of the proof of sufficient funds: After the start of your study programme at the Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, we will inform you how the proof of sufficient funds will be refunded to you. Please be aware that the refund process takes about 2 months. You will not have access to the amount before that. Please note that you will need to open a Dutch bank account as the money can only be refunded to your Dutch bank account. More information about opening a Dutch bank account after arrival in the Netherlands will be provided during the introduction presentation and can be read online. Once you have submitted the refund request it takes 2 to 3 weeks before you receive the money on your Dutch bank account. Make sure you will have sufficient extra funds for the first 2 months in The Netherlands. 2. Scholarship award letter The scholarship award letter must show the following details: • the date; • the institution granting the scholarship; • your personal details (initials, surname and date of birth) • the start and finish of the scholarship (start and end date); • the amount you receive; • Optional: the name of the scholarship programme. • Does the educational institution grant you a scholarship on behalf of a different institution? For example, an organisation or company? Please then show the agreement between your educational institution and the institution in question. The scholarship letter must be drawn up in Dutch, English, German or French. If it is not in these languages then the document needs to be translated by a sworn translator to English. Please make sure all the information is correct. You need to show the original documents as well as the translation. page 3 of 4 IV. After arrival After your arrival in the Netherlands you will need to collect your VVR (residence permit card). We will inform you on where and when you need to do this. The VVR card will be valid for your entire study period and allows you to live and study in the Netherlands for the duration of your studies. Take good care of this card, because if you lose it you need to apply for a replacement at your own cost. Please note that from the moment you stop studying at the university, we also stop being your recognised sponsor and we inform the Dutch immigration office (IND) of this change in status. Your study residence permit will then be revoked and you will be expected to leave the Netherlands.
