2. Transfer your financial guarantee to our bank account

You can find the banking details for the transaction in the immigration instruction e-mail you have received from us. Don’t forget to mention your full name and student number in the description of your payment.

You can find information about the financial guarantee here and on immigration deadlines and any other immigration questions you may have on our FAQ page.

3. Start application

We will start your immigration procedure when:

All your uploaded documents for immigration are correct
We have received your financial guarantee
When you have received a letter of acceptance from the student administration

You will receive a confirmation e-mail after we have sent your application to the IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service).

We will buy AON complete + student insurance for you when we have sent your documents to the IND. A copy of your insurance certificate will be sent to you by AON.

4. Decision IND

The IND will let us know their decision within 4 weeks. The moment we receive the decision letter, we will e-mail you a copy.

5. Collect MVV Visa

After you have received the confirmation that your application is approved, you will need to make an appointment at the Dutch embassy or Consulate General. They will give you a sticker in your passport, your MVV Visa. This Visa is valid for 90 days, so please make sure you arrive in the Netherlands before it expires.

6. Biometric data

The biometric data (passport photo, signature and fingerprints) that you have provided at the Dutch embassy or Consulate General will be sent to the IND in the Netherlands. It will be used to make your Dutch residence permit document. We will let you know by e-mail when and where to pick it up.

In order for you to study in the Netherlands we will need to receive a financial guarantee. The following fees are included in the financial guarantee you transfer to us:

Tuition fee
Insurance fee
Immigration fee
TBC check-up (if applicable)

The fees listed above will be deducted from the total amount of the financial guarantee, and the amount that remains will be transferred back to you upon arrival in the Netherlands, once you have opened a Dutch bank account. This money will serve as your ‘living money’ for the first year.

The documents and forms we need to receive are listed below. They must be filled out completely and signed when required. Always make sure to read all instructions on the forms carefully. Once you have filled out the forms log in to Hanze Apply and upload all the required documents at ‘Proceed / details’ under ‘Current Applications’. You have received your login details in an earlier e-mail. Only PDF format is accepted for your documents.

Antecedents Certificate

The date next to your signature is the date on which you sign the form. You do not need to fill in your V-number when you don't know it. In this case you can leave the question unanswered.
Personal details form and statement of awareness
A copy of your (valid) passport

Include the pages that contain your personal details and signature, and any pages that contain travel stamps (combine the pages into 1 PDF file).
For Exchange students from a university located within the EU: a copy of the residence permit from the country where you are currently studying. The residence permit must be valid up until the end date of your exchange programme in the Netherlands.

We expect you to have read the brochure describing the rules and regulations for holders of a residence permit for study purpose.

Please note the following:

The quality of the scanned copies must be perfect and the size has to match that of the original form.
Only PDF files are accepted.
