Question: (Last edited: Friday, 11 September 2020, 8:56 AM)Registration: I am unable to meet the study credit requirement to continue my registration at WUAS, what do I do? | |||
---|---|---|---|
Answer: The Wittenborg EEG rules and regulations state that, in order to continue a successful registration, a student must obtain at least 30 European study credits (ECs) within 12 months. Only where there are mitigating circumstances preventing the student from successful studying and, therefore, leaving the student unable to gain sufficient credits to continue their studies, can exemption to the credit requirement be requested. The request must be submitted by filling in this webform. Please be aware that an exemption to the credit requirement can only be requested once within the duration of the degree programme. The Student Registrar will evaluate the request based on the explanation and documentation provided and will inform the student and the Process Tutor of the final decision within 2 weeks after the request has been submitted. The request will only be taken into consideration if the request has been submitted at least 1 block before the 12 months have passed. If a student does not meet the credit requirement
by the end of the 12 months and did not have any mitigating circumstances
preventing the student from obtaining the credits, the deregistration process
will be set into motion within 4 weeks after the 12 months have passed. For EU
students, the deregistration will be communicated to the Dienst Uitvoering
Onderwijs (DUO). For non-EU/EER students, WUAS will inform the Immigration and
Naturalisation Service (IND) of deregistration, leading to a revocation of the
study residence permit. | |||
Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 14 July 2020, 10:04 AM)Residence Permit Expired: What should I do if my residence permit has expired but I cannot leave the Netherlands at this moment? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: Submit an extension application at the IND desk where possible. If this is not possible, you can ask for a return decision at the counter. With a return decision, you then have an additional 28 days to leave the country. You can make appointments at the counter in the usual way, but bear in mind the currently limited services at the IND counters. | ||||
Question: (Last edited: Thursday, 10 December 2020, 11:25 AM)Residence Permit Gap: What is the "residence permit gap" and the consequences if I have a gap in the residence permit period? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: A residence gap is an interruption in your continuous stay and may cause problems later on if you want to apply for a Dutch permanent residence. In general, a residence permit gap has affects in the longer term, if you decide to apply for a Dutch permanent residence permit in the future. In order to apply for a permanent residence permit, one of the requirements is that you have legally resided in the Netherlands for an uninterrupted period of five years or more before you make the permanent residence permit application. This means that you require to have had a valid residence permit for the full five years, without interruptions or gaps within this period. You have thus always applied for extension of your residence permit on time. Another requirement is that within these five consecutive years you have not stayed outside the Netherlands for six or more consecutive months, or three years in a row for four or more consecutive months. The consequence of a residence permit gap is that the period of legal residence in the Netherlands before this gap will not be taken into consideration. This means that you will have to start again building up a five-year uninterrupted period in the Netherlands to obtain permanent residency. For example: If your first residence permit is issued
from 01-09-2009 till 31-08-2013, and if you apply for residence permit
extension later than your expiration date (31-08-2013), then residency gap is
created, and the IND starts counting from that day onwards -- that day your application
form is received by the IND. Even a single day difference is recognised as a
residency gap. For more information and other requirements for applying the permanent residence permit, please visit: https://ind.nl/en/permanent-residence/Pages/permanent-residence-after-5-years.aspx | ||||

Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 23 June 2020, 5:38 PM)Residence Permit: I am from the UK. Am I exempt from applying for a residence permit in the Netherlands post Brexit? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: No. As you will know, the UK left the EU on 31 January 2020. Because your right of residence has changed as a result of Brexit, you have to arrange your residence after Brexit. The Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) has come up with
a Withdrawal Agreement with the UK. This agreement consists of a transition period from 1 February, 2020, up to and including 31 December, 2020, during which UK nationals who are already here in the Netherlands
must take action to make sure they can also stay in the Netherlands after 31
December, 2020, by submitting an application for
residence. To make sure you are ready to submit your application online, please
first take care of the next few things first: _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you have not already done so, register yourself in person in the Personal Records Database (Basisregistratie Personen or BRP) at your town hall. The IND is linked to the BRP. If you register in the BRP, the IND can get in touch with you.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It is very important that your personal details in the Personal Records Database (BRP) are correct, as based on these details the IND will send invitation letters. In this letter, the IND will invite you to submit an application for residence after 31 December, 2020. If your application is approved you will receive a (new) residence document, which you will need to continue to live, work and study in the Netherlands. The application costs €58 for adults and €31 for children under 18. | ||||
Question: (Last edited: Tuesday, 14 July 2020, 9:34 AM)Residence Permit: I have arrived in the Netherlands, but I cannot collect my residence permit, as IND has limited their office hours. What can I do? | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Answer: If your residence permit is ready to be collected at the IND office, Wittenborg will have informed you of the collection of your residence permit by email. The current IND regulations state that you must pick up your residence permit within 3 months as stated on your MVV sticker. However, if you are unable to do so, as the IND states that the residence permits cannot be picked up at the IND office until 6th of April, please inform us (email registrar@wittenborg.eu) if you cannot meet the 3-months deadline. Wittenborg will then request IND for an extension of these 3 months, so that you can collect your residence permit later at the IND office. | ||||
