Student visa
A long-term MVV (Machtiging tot Voorlopig Verblijf) visa lasting up to 5 years is required to study. Applying for an MVV visa is done via the university once enrollment and financial issues are sorted (tuition payment and checking you have enough money to live). The university can only request a visa from the Immigration and Naturalization Service on behalf of the student only after:
- enrolment
- payment of tuition
- confirmation of there being enough money to live
- provision of other necessary documents (requirements may differ depending on the university, so pay attention to the information your university sends you)
COVID-19 pandemic
You shouldn't defer your admission because of the pandemic, you can travel abroad with a student visa without any issues.
The pandemic actually makes it easier to be admitted and receive grants. Students are afraid of entering university and are deferring their education, meaning there's less competition for places.
