Applicants from outside the European Union
If you are a student from outside the European Union, you should apply as early as possible. That will ensure you have enough time to request your visa and residence permit once you have been admitted. The deadline for submitting the required documents is 31 May.
If you have any questions about Studielink, have a look at the Studielink Q&A page.
