How do I extend my residence permit?

Your residence permit card with the purpose of study is linked to your enrolment at the University of Groningen. As long as you are enrolled we can apply for an extension of your permit. Your residence permit card will be extended for the duration of your study programme.

We can apply for an extension with the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) 3 months before the expiry date of your current residence permit card. Around that time you will receive an email with more information.

Change of purpose
If you want to change the type of residence permit your have, or if you currently have a residence permit for ‘study’ that was applied for by another university (of applied sciences) or employer, please contact theISD. Please always make sure that you send along a scan of the front and back of your current residence permit card. The ISD will then be able to inform you accordingly.
