If you want to stay in the Netherlands to study and you do not have the nationality of an EU/EEA country or Switzerland, it must be a study at a recognised educational institution listed in the so-called Openbaar Register Bekende Referenten. You also need to have enough money to be able to live and study in the Netherlands. The application itself is taken care of by the educational institution. For more information about staying in the Netherlands to study, we refer you to the INS website, where you can often find answers to your questions about the conditions and procedure for obtaining a residence permit in the Netherlands so you can study in the Netherlands.
