All students who have been accepted to a programme at the University of Amsterdam can apply for a visa (MVV) using the priority procedure offered by the University, which takes approximately two months.

• EU/EEA students and students who are citizens of Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, South Korea, the USA and the Vatican City State do not need a visa (MVV) to enter the Netherlands.
