VISA (MVV) procedure
Non-EU students need a visa to travel to The Netherlands. When you are admissioned to study IBMS and after all conditions for enrolment are fulfilled, Fontys will apply for your visa. This is called the 'MVV application procedure'. A normal procedure can take 2 to 4 weeks.
When the Dutch Immigrations Office (also called IND) gives a positive advice to the Dutch Embassy in your country for your visa, you will be notified by Fontys that you can pick up the visa sticker. You need to pick up the visa yourself. For authentication you can be asked for your passport, birth certificate and insurance policy at the embassy. Without a visa it is not possible for non-EU students to travel to the Netherlands. The fees for the MVV application are € 250,00.
The following documents are required in order to apply for your visa:
- Copy of passport
- NESO Certificate (only Chinese students)
- Full payment of the invoice for school fees, visa application, residence permit application, accommodation assurance (if applicable), health insurance (if applicable) and additional living expenses (if applicable).
