If you need a visa or residence permit, please contact the NHL International Office: internationaloffice@nhl.nl.
The International Office will send you all the necessary information and also help you with the procedures.

Formalities for EU/EEA students
EU/EEA and Swiss students do not need a visa or residence permit. All you need is a valid passport or a valid national identity card, health insurance and enough money.
If you are staying for more than 5 months you will need to register as an inhabitant of the municipality where you are staying.
