A knowledgeable Netherlands Study Visa Consultant can help you weigh a research university (WO) against a university of applied sciences (HBO/UAS) based on your career goals — the two tracks suit different kinds of students.
Indian students heading to the Netherlands generally need both an MVV (provisional residence visa) and a residence permit, which most Dutch universities apply for jointly on your behalf once you accept your offer. Here’s how the process typically unfolds:
Step | Process | Documents Required |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Secure admission and confirm enrolment via Studie link | Academic transcripts, CV, SOP, language scores (IELTS/TOEFL) |
Step 2 | University initiates your MVV / residence permit application with the IND | Passport copy, admission confirmation, application forms |
Step 3 | Submit financial proof and pay the visa fee | Bank statements or proof of scholarship/loan, fee payment receipt |
Step 4 | Collect your MVV at the Dutch consulate/embassy in India | Passport, MVV approval notice, biometrics |
Step 5 | Travel to the Netherlands and collect your residence permit | MVV sticker, proof of address, university registration |
Step 6 | Register with the local municipality (BRP) and apply for your BSN | Residence permit, rental agreement, passport |
Working with an experienced Netherlands Study Visa Consultant in Ahmedabad helps you keep the university, IND, and consulate steps synchronised — since much of this process runs through your university rather than a visa office alone.

Work rights in the Netherlands depend heavily on your nationality. Here’s what currently applies to non-EU/EEA students on a Dutch student residence permit:

After Graduation
Because work permit rules and salary thresholds are updated periodically, it’s worth confirming the latest figures with your Netherlands Study Visa Consultant closer to your application date.
Yes. The Netherlands combines globally ranked universities, one of Europe's largest selections of English-taught programmes, a strong job market in tech and business, and a practical post-study work pathway — making it an increasingly popular choice among Indian students.
No. The vast majority of bachelor's and master's programmes aimed at international students are taught fully in English. Learning basic Dutch, however, does help with part-time work, daily life, and long-term job prospects.
Non-EU students typically pay €11,800 to €26,000 per year for bachelor's programmes and €23,300 to €26,000 per year for master's programmes, depending on the university and field. Monthly living costs generally range from €1,000 to €1,500, depending on the city.
Options include the Holland Scholarship, the Orange Tulip Scholarship (which has categories specifically for Indian students), university-specific grants, and Erasmus+ scholarships for eligible programmes.
Requirements vary by programme but generally include your academic transcripts, an English proficiency score (IELTS/TOEFL), a CV, statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, and proof of financial means for your visa application.
Once your university submits your MVV and residence permit application to the IND, processing typically takes 2 to 10 weeks. Since the university initiates this on your behalf, applying and accepting your offer early gives you a comfortable buffer.
Yes, if you're a non-EU/EEA student, you can work up to 16 hours per week during term time and full-time during the summer months, provided your employer arranges a TWV work permit for you.
