Onderwijs Veelgestelde vragen Immigratie

How can I get my sufficient funds back?

As soon as you have arrived in the Netherlands and opened a (IBAN) bank account, you can submit your online reclaim form for the refund of the sufficient funds you transferred. The ISD will send you a link to the online form soon after your arrival.

Please ensure that you are financially covered during the first few months in the Netherlands, as the refund procedure may take a couple of weeks. You take extra cash or a credit card to make sure you can pay for the first essentials.

We will also refund the tuition fees and sufficient funds if you are not able to attend the University of Groningen. If we have already applied for your visa we cannot refund the application fees. Please note that you will have to let us know as soon as possible but before the start date of your degree programme.
