Lost / Stolen

The Erasmus University, Rotterdam Campus

Oh no, has your student residence permit been lost or stolen?!

Here’s what you have to do:

Procedure

  1. File a police report.
    • Report the loss to the police and obtain an official police report. You need this official police report to apply for a new residence permit.
       
  2. Apply for the right kind of replacement. See below.
     
  3. Contact the IND at 088-0430430 for personal advice on the matter – this way you can be sure which procedure is the most appropriate for your situation.
     

Replacement of your permit

Getting a new residence permit depends on the expiry date of the permit you lost:

  • If the residence permit you lost was still valid for longer than three months, we advise you to apply for a replacement of your permit.
    • You can apply for a replacement directly with the IND; EUR is not involved in the process.
    • The form you need to submit is available on the IND website.
    • You may contact the IND for an appointment for submitting your completed application by calling: 088-0430430.
    • The costs for this procedure are € 154.
      • Your insurance may cover these costs; please contact your insurance provider for details.
         
  • In case you lost your permit but will be leaving soon please inform Team Immigration.

     

  • If the residence permit you lost would have expired within three months, and you are continuing your studies at EUR after the expiry date of your (lost or stolen) permit.
    • We advise you to apply for an extension of your residence permit instead of a replacement.
      • Please note your registration at EUR for the next academic year must be complete at the time of the application for an extension.
