Can I enter the Netherlands with a tourist visa?

Depending on your nationality, you might need a visa to travel into the country. You can find out here: http://www.rug.nl/education/international-students/visa-immigration/
For a stay up to 90 days, this visa is called a ‘short stay visa’ or ‘Tourist visa'. For stays longer than 90 days, this is called an entry visa (MVV) and is always followed by a residence permit (VVR).

If you do need visa please contact your contact person at the university about the visa application procedure.
