The MVV Visa is a document which allows you to enter the Netherlands and stay legally in the country for a duration of 90 days.

The Campus Card is more than a means of identification and is used for many facilities on campus. Upload a portrait photo using your NetID (the login credentials used in the online application portal MyTUDelft).

If you need a MVV Visa, visit the Dutch Embassy/Consulate General after your status is confirmed to pick up your Visa. We strongly recommend to arrange your travel plans only after receiving your Visa.
At the Dutch Embassy/Consulate General you will be requested to register your Biometric Information. The Biometric Information is required by the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) for your Dutch Residence Permit card.
If you don’t need a MVV Visa but only a Residence Permit, your Biometric information will be registered in the Netherlands. The appointment details will be emailed to you before the start of your study programme.
