About us FEB Education Student Support Desk Frequently asked questions Incoming exchange students / FEB Practical Matters Visa and Residence Permit

I'm an exchange student. Will I receive any help with my visa application?

If you need a visa to enter the Netherlands, the University of Groningen will apply for your vis afor you. The Exchange Office will inform you about the procedure by email. In fact, a student cannot apply for a long-term (over three months) visa himself/herself. Also, the University of Groningen will apply for your visa via a shortened procedure (called "MVV"). This will take usually about 6 weeks. Please find more information about the visa procedure. Please make sure to send us the required documents before the deadline!
