What's the cost of a Netherlands Residence permit for a student?
What's the cost of a Netherlands Residence permit for a student?
I'm studying in an exchange program there and can't find the proper info. I'll be there for 6 months... and from one site I saw it says I have to pay around 450 Euros! That's insane... is this really the cost, even for a temporary student?

If you look at the official IND (immigration dept) site then there is a PDF file which details all the current prices http://www.ind.nl/en/Images/0907%20kosten_ENG_tcm6-76140.pdf It depends on the category that you fall into as to the costs (e.g. whether it is officially an exchange program either €433 as a regular (exchange) student or €250 as part of the accelerated program. Follow the wizard on the same site for more details http://www.ind.nl/EN/verblijfwijzer/verblijfwijzer_content.asp?proc=komen&lang=en Exchange programme: – to stay as part of a exchange programme via a private organisation = €433 – to stay as part of a exchange programme via the accelerated procedure = €250 To study: – to study €433 – to study via the accelerated procedure €250 EDIT - regarding the below claims of being local, now that is what I call a "load of trash". It is patently obvious that no-one on this site even exists and they are certainly not Dutch because the cost of a permit does not depend on the area and there is no just thing as a "mayor's" office even if you translate badly from Dutch to English! The links I have given you are from the official immigration dept site which is an official and central body As an ex student advisor for foreign students, I can assure you that it does not get any more official than this..... and certainly a lot better than a site which copies questions from Yahoo Answers and answers them with non-existant people's profiles (again very obvious to someone who is really "local"!)

Why don't you study in your own country, and come and work in the Netherlands afterwards. There is no charge to work here.
