ranatemoor44: You welcomed. Every city in Netherlands is good, just that others have better student job opportunities than others. |

ranatemoor44: Congrats, well there is little or no questions asked, just verification and confirmation of your data as the actual student. It is not in their power to issue or deny the Visa as far as its already been approved by IND in Netherlands. Welkom 1 Like |

Its quite funny what i have read regarding life in Netherlands. I always advise friends and people who want to move to Netherlands. First have a SOLID plan on what and how to survive. Do NOT depend on finding a job as a student because almost ALL employers will NOT hire you because they do not have the time to apply and process your Work Permit for you. I equally advise people to make sure you apply to a very reputable University were you have good chances of having your International student office assist you in finding an employer during summer. Lastly, Netherlands should be like a gateway to Europe for you if you cannot afford to study here, moving your course after the first year to Germany or any other University in Europe is extremely easy. Make proper plans that will have option A,B and C. I have heard from many people who have nationalized in Netherlands and they always say that Holland is not a recommended country for first timers, its hard if you don't have a lot of money and backings. But all in all i will still advise those who plan to move to Holland to proceed because here is the heart of Europe, never listen to anyone telling you that been a black in Netherlands means you cannot get an office work, that's BULLS. I have a friend who will be graduating before me in the same course have already gotten a offer letter from Philips Electronics which is a Dutch owned company. The blacks you see with no office work are mostly uneducated, from black countries once colonized by the Dutch. 4 Likes |

kekeud: The last time i checked, you need your LOA, Passport, 4 copies of Passport photographs, School Transcripts. Well basically you are not required to produce anything other than your Passport and passport photographs, but you know its Ghana and long trip from Nigeria, so just go with all your documents and everything you think might be deemed necessary. You are to receive your MVV sticker on same day or maximum 2days from submission. Remember to legalize your birth certificate as its MOST necessary for registration at City Hall to get your BSN. All the best. |

jsaunders:Well since you have submitted the statement, you just have to wait to hear from them. It usually takes 4-5weeks or so. Remember to have adequate plans in place for your finances before moving to Netherlands. Jobs for Non-Eu students is practically non-existant, except you speak good Dutch which I assure you is one of the most tongue twisting language. But quality of life, that I guarantee you is nothing but the very best. |

jsaunders:Yes you are right, most of the regulations have changed. Since you printed a copy of the statement of account before paying for the tuition, they might query for a new statement, their is high possibility that they will calculate the final balance of the statement of account you submitted and subtract the entire money you paid, and if the remaining isn't to the required amount, they might deny it or ask for a more recent bank statement. During my application, the school have full responsibility in ensuring the successful outcome of your MVV, unfortunately it isn't so as of now. The good news is that once your application is approved, you will be issued a Residence Permit that will last for the entire duration of your study, meaning that if you are coming for a Bachelor degree which have a duration of 4 years, then your Residence Card will bear a duration of 4 years. All the best. |

hayzed14: @hayzed14, I understand your fears, in my own humble opinion, these days it have passed the stage whereby people pay some individuals to secure admission for them . According to your post I guess you are still very young and inexperienced in handling the day to day life in Russia. Why don't you look for admission somewhere within Western and Central Europe were life is quite better suitable for a first timer abroad as yourself, for e.g, Czech Republic which pays approx 2000-3500 euros per year, Hungary, France, Spain, and some others. According to your bouget you have approx enough for studies in these countries and also have better opportunities of working while studying. You also have lesser racial biased comments and physical confrontations. But if you have already made up your mind, I will advise you to go online, search for the website and contact details of the University you were offered admission and verify your admission letter before further financial commitments. I wish you the best. |

xkris11: Ok, i see they keep changing things consistently. Try to contact your university to see if you can skip that for the moment since you have paid Financial guarantee which shows enough fund for a year. Also see if your sponsor can contact the branch manager of his bank to see if he can get you the declaration without him been there. This new changes isnt quite good, probably soon the IND will slash of the visa processing by the universities. When your visa is out, let me know so i can advise you on the scholarship. Goodluck bro. |

xkris11: If you have transferred the financial guarantee to the university, then i dont see why you need additional bank statement as dutch universities process visas for their accepted students. Are you going for Bachelor or Masters? |

I dont know much on football for students. But am sure if you are a good player you will be able to play for your school or go weekend football local games. From there if you are skilled and lucky you might be invited to join the city's football club and from there so it goes. All depends on your skills and luck. But you stand good chances as a student. |

2good: 2good you seem to have gotten me wrong. I have NOT in anyway make it sound easier or more difficult than in reality. I'm giving analysis from present/current developments as i reside here and worked in ISO. Getting a job without basic knowledge of Dutch is very difficult, the possibility might be slightly better if you reside in big student cities and other large cities. In my understanding from ISO the 1 year residence card affords you all the rights to be selected and work in any company/organisation without the employer making any so called notice for Dutch/Eu nationals. If he is able to get an employer to hire him after graduation and is paid within the average salary between 1400-2200 euro per month then everything will be just fine. The requirement for dutch fluency can be a big obstacle in been hired. So everything boils down to the possibility of getting an employer who will hire you, if you succeed in doing so, then you should be just fine. 1 Like |

kennycanny: The possibility is quite high, this is because you will be able to get 1 year of residence permit which allows you to look for work and be able to work. Once you get the job, you or your employer can file for extension of your residence permit. After uninterrupted 5 years of working, you can apply for permanent residence card. |

kennycanny: Hello all, can someone kindly shed light on this question, especially to those already in Holland. Is there any legal opportunity given to student to work and stay after studies in Holland? Two things are involved. First, you have to understand that according to the terms on which your study residence permit is issued, you are not allowed to work. But if you so desire to work, you have to meet an employer who is willing to hire you and also file for your Work Permit as you cannot do this on your own. The complex part of this is that the process is most times hectic, time consuming and most employers decline the offer of hiring you as a foreign student especially if you cannot speak Dutch. Secondly, you are not allowed to work more than 10 hrs per week during your study semester, this with an exception on long holidays were you are permitted to work as many hours as you so wish, but again you still need a work permit to do so. Finally the reality is that even if you succeed in been hired for a part time work (10 hrs per week) there is very low survival rate for you and you cannot afford to live and pay your tuition fee from your earnings. You can apply for your a residence permit after your graduation which is mostly valid for 1 year, this allows you to look for work within the validity of that permit. Your university will assist you in this application, so be well assured that it will be granted. So if you can afford your tuition for the duration of your study, then by all means coming to the Orange Country is worth it. All the best. |
