Note: No residence permit for UNIGIS students
Before you decide to apply for the UNIGIS programme, please consider the following: The VU University Amsterdam has an agreement with the Dutch Immigration Service (IND) through which the university can apply for residence permits for its students.

In order to be eligible for a residence permit during your studies, a student must be enrolled as a regular full-time student or as an exchange student. For a part-time, distance-learning study like UNIGIS, students do not have to reside in the Netherlands. Therefore the VU University Amsterdam cannot apply for a residence permit for UNIGIS students.
