After your arrival, it is your obligation to register in the Dutch municipality where you will be moving to. After getting your citizenship service number (BSN) and your VISA you can proceed with opening a bank account at the company of your choice such as ABN AMRO, SNS Bank, Triodos Bank or ASN Bank.

On average, students in the Netherlands should budget between €960 and €1,250 per month for expenses like food, transport, books, clothes, entertainment, housing, and insurance. This is excluding tuition fees.

If you are coming from within Europe, you cannot pay your tuition fees monthly, but you can pay them in 4 planned installments (with 5% interest rate).

If you are coming from outside of Europe, it is not possible. For you to get a visa, we need to prove to the immigration department proof that you have paid the full tuition fees. From the second year and on since you don’t need to apply for a visa again, you can start paying with instalments as the European students (see above). As soon as you get your citizenship number, you can start working, which helps you gain back some of the money paid upfront.

As soon as you pay the full amount, we will ask you to fill in the required forms, which are about your criminal record, TBC test, and your financial status. Then, we will apply for your visa. Once that is done, we wait 4 to 6 weeks to receive an answer on your visa application. If you want to know more detailed information, please go to our visa and residence permit page.

If you are coming from one of these 5 countries (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Nigeria) yes. Otherwise, it is not possible.

Stricter rules have been put in place for immigration from these 5 countries in the Netherlands. Therefore, we need to make sure we follow these parameters:

– Collecting full living costs for the first year.
– Interviewing everyone
