This means that we help students with a conditional (e.g. pending graduation) and unconditional offer after we are informed by your faculty. Having an immigration case does not automatically mean that your conditional offer is now unconditional, always refer to the admission team of your faculty for questions regarding admission. Team immigration has no knowledge about your admission process and/or deadlines.
- Submitting your immigration documents on time (before the deadline) is part of your enrollment request, failing to submit your documents and pay your invoice on timeÂ

- Your studies (the tuition fee differs per study programme);
- The immigration fee;
- The costs of living in the Netherlands (which is €1.235 for every month of your stay in the Netherlands).
