How can I apply for my residence permit?
The
University of Groningen helps students who have been admitted (or
provisionally admitted) to a degree or an exchange programme to
apply for a residence permit. Under Dutch law, students cannot
apply for a residence permit
individually.
The residence permit allows a foreigner to live in the Netherlands for a period longer than 90 days. It is issued in the form of a pink-and-blue coloured card and for the purpose of 'study'.
Upon arrival in the Netherlands you first need to go to an Immigration and Naturalisation Services (IND) Desk to give your biometric information (fingerprints, passport photo and signature) in order for the IND to be able to make your residence permit and determine your identity. If you require an mvv, you have provided your biometric information at the Dutch embassy or consulate general in your home country when you have picked up your mvv.
After approval of the application and receival of your biometric information, the IND will produce your residence permit card. The ISD will inform you when your residence permit card is ready and how and where to collect it.
