To apply for a student visa there are certain Financial Proof Requirements.

Remember: you may not, under any circumstances, collect an MVV in the Netherlands! Please do not purchase your flight ticket before you have actually gained your MVV from the Dutch embassy or consulate in your home country (or the country in which you legally reside).

Administration fees for MVV

This fee has been included in your package fee, as well as the fee for residence permit application.

Your MVV will be valid for three months starting from the date on which the visa department authorised the embassy/consulate to issue your MVV. During these three months, you may travel to the Netherlands. Please note that the MVV is mostly only valid for one single entry. You need to report to the Front Desk of Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences within 3 days of your arrival and Wittenborg will inform the local authority for you.
