Document background
The Student Visa Form is a mandatory document for all non-EU/EEA students planning to study in the Netherlands for more than 90 days. This form serves as the primary application document for obtaining a residence permit for study purposes (verblijfsvergunning voor studie). It must be submitted through a recognized educational institution acting as a sponsor, in accordance with the Modern Migration Policy Act and Dutch Immigration Act 2000. The form collects comprehensive information about the applicant, including personal data, educational qualifications, financial resources, and accommodation plans. It requires supporting documentation such as passport copies, educational certificates, proof of financial means, and health insurance coverage. The document is processed by the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) and is crucial for ensuring compliance with Dutch immigration regulations and maintaining the integrity of the international student admission process.
