YOU ARE FROM OUTSIDE EUROPE (EEA*) AND WISH TO APPLY FOR A LONG STAY: RESIDENCE PERMIT FOR THE NETHERLANDS
If you would like to follow a Master’s or PhD programme at our university, you will be staying in the Netherlands for longer than three months. If you are from outside Europe (EEA) you will require a residence permit. The application for a residence permit is only possible for a full-time study and must be submitted by the Theologische Universiteit Kampen.
The documents required and the procedure to be followed depend on your personal situation. The Dutch Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) will decide whether or not you will be given a residence permit.
Twice a year, the IND determines the standard minimum monthly income requirements for staying in the Netherlands. For a student this amount is € 932.87 per month excluding tuition fees, for a student with a family this amount is € 1863 per month excluding tuition fees. New standard income requirements will be published in July 2022. Income earned in the Netherlands does not count in the proof of financial resources. The IND does not permit this being counted in the income requirement.
We recommend that you start the application process on time, at least three months before you plan to enter the Netherlands, but the sooner the better. It may take some time for you to collect all the relevant documents and stamps and to submit copies to our International Office.
You should bring the original documents with you when entering the Netherlands.
In the event of a positive decision by the IND, you will receive a residence permit for the time it takes, generally speaking, to finish your study. After about nine months of study you should have earned at least 50% of the credits required for the academic year, to be eligible for extension of your residence permit.
The application for extension of your residence permit must also be submitted by the TUK.
