ADMISSION, VISA & RESIDENCE PERMIT

Admission

Applications for courses at the Faculty ITC have been dealt with through the course finder on the ITC website. Communication runs through the ITC digital application system OSIRIS of the ITC Admission Office.

When officially admitted to study, you will receive information about the formalities and steps to take via the digital application system OSIRIS. Please follow the instructions carefully.

Once the invoice has been paid and/or a scholarship has been awarded, we will start with the Visa procedure. When you have obtained your MVV, you can book your flight and when you inform us accordingly your travel details through OSIRIS all further services will start to work (such as organizing your insurance) to help ensure that you have a smooth arrival and stay at ITC.

ENTRY VISA & RESIDENCE PERMIT

Studying Less Than 90 Days In Nl

Students studying in the Netherlands for less than three months have to apply for a ‘multipleentry Schengen short stay visa’ at the Netherlands embassy in their own or neighbouring country. You will be instructed to visit the Netherlands embassy to collect the visa when receiving your ITC letter of admission. Please note that a short stay visa allows you to stay in the Netherlands for a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period. It is not possible to extend a short stay visa; Dutch authorities make no exceptions to this rule.

Studying More Than 90 Days In Nl

Students studying for longer than three months must have an authorisation for temporary stay (MVV) upon arrival. After you have arrived in the Netherlands, you will receive your residence permit card.

As soon as you have been awarded a scholarship, or when course fees have been fully paid, ITC Immigration officers will apply for a MVV and the residence permit at the Dutch Immigration Service (IND) in the Netherlands. Our Student Affairs Office assists all students requiring an (entry) visa, residence permit and/or Change of Purpose. If you require an entry visa or residence permit, you will receive an email after your admission outlining all necessary procedures. Keep in mind that, by Dutch law, students cannot apply for a visa themselves.

If you need to extend your residence permit, the extension is handled and monitored by ITC Student Affairs. The fee for extending your residence permit is € 210.
