Visum & Verblijfsvergunning

The application for the MVV visa and/or Residence Permit with IND costs €243. The IND application fee is non-refundable once your application has been submitted to the IND.

After Admission, please take the following steps:

1. Submit your Confirmation Statement in MyTUDelft, our online system before the deadline as mentioned in your Admission Letter.
2. Follow the instructions as indicated in the Financial Letter.
3. Fill in and upload the required application documents for your MVV visa and/or Residence Permit for Study:
   1. Antecedents Certificate (you can leave the V-number blank, this number is only provided by the Immigration Office after they approve your residence permit);
   2. Declaration for Study Residence Permit;
   3. Declaration of intent to undergo a TB test (please have a parent or other legal representative co-sign the declaration if you are under 18 years of age);
      As a non-EU/non-EFTA student, you are required to undergo the TB test within three months after the start of your study programme, unless your nationality is stated in this list. TB test results from your home country or another country are not accepted in the Netherlands.
   4. A photocopy of the page(s) of your valid passport containing your name, date of birth, place of birth, passport expiration date, and signature is required. In addition, please provide photocopies of each stamped page.

Please note, your signature on all documents needs to resemble the one in your passport. After uploading these documents, press the submit button.

We will start reviewing your documents in April; if your documents do not suffice, you will be asked to submit these anew. Therefore, we kindly ask you to check all fields and signatures before submitting your file, to limit further action on both our sides.

In order to ensure the validity of your MVV Visa during the required period, TU Delft will start submitting the applications at the IND from the end of May. The MVV Visa and/or Residence Permit application may take up to 4 weeks. You will be notified about the outcome via email.

We advise you to book your travel to the Netherlands after your MVV Visa (if applicable) and Residence Permit for Study have been approved; and after you have found housing for your stay.

If you are an incoming student that only requires a Residence Permit (so no MVV Visa) , you need to supply your biometric details at the IND in the Netherlands. Afterwards, your Residence Permit card will be created. You can schedule your biometrics appointment through this link. (February start only; for September start please await further instructions).

If you are subject to an MVV Visa, you submit your biometric details during your MVV Visa appointment at the Dutch embassy / consulate general. If there is any need to resubmit your details, you will be notified by TU Delft.

For the September start, the IND organises three central days where you can collect your Residence Permit for Study in Utrecht. From early August, you will be notified through email by TU Delft if your residence permit is ready for collection. The email will include more information on scheduling your individual appointment for one of these dates. If you are starting in February, you can schedule your individual appointment at IND Den Haag on the IND-website. 

If you are subject to an MVV Visa, you need to collect your residence permit card no later than 90 days after your MVV Visa collection appointment. Please keep this in mind when you schedule your appointment.

After collecting your residence permit, please submit PDF with a copy of the front and back of your card to TU Delft via contactcentre-esa@tudelft.nl.

As a non-EU/EFTA student, you are required to undergo the TB test within three months after the start of your study programme, unless your nationality is stated in this list. TB test results from your home country or another country are not accepted in the Netherlands.

The TB screening is executed by the GGD Haaglanden and requires a €50 fee to be paid by debit card. TU Delft has to inform the GGD of your obligation to undergo a TB Screening. With this information, the GGD schedules your appointment. You will receive a confirmation of your appointment from TU Delft – it is not possible to change the date or time of the appointment.

Once you reside in the Netherlands, there are several requirements that you are obliged to meet for the entire duration of your residence, as determined by the IND. Among others, there are requirements for registration, insurance and minimum study progress (MoMi). You’ll find all requirements here.

As long as you meet these requirements, your residence permit is valid for the nominal duration of your study programme and three months after. If you do not comply with these conditions, your residence permit will be revoked by the IND. TU Delft cannot change these regulations nor make an exception.
