Step 2: Apply for a school.

Most Dutch schools accept direct applications, and students can find application forms and specific application methods on the websites of various institutions.

The advantage of this is that students can get in touch with the school directly and get relatively accurate information, and the cost of obtaining all this information is low; However, there are also some troubles in applying by themselves, that is, students need to contact the school in person and consult a lot of materials in person, which is of course time-consuming and laborious.

Step 3: Material preparation

● Notarization of high school diploma (if you are studying in a university, you need a certificate of university attendance).

Step 4: Apply for Neso certificate.

The NESO certificate is a big difference between the Netherlands and other countries in the process of studying abroad, so students need to pay special attention. Moreover, it is precisely because of the existence of this certificate that students studying in the Netherlands must have language scores, otherwise they will not be able to obtain this certificate, nor will they be able to obtain a study visa in the Netherlands without a NESO certificate.

Immigration requires that every student who goes to study in the Netherlands through the fast MVV visa procedure must apply for a Neso certificate.

Neso certificate is a necessary document for applying for a student visa, which is issued by NesoBeijing office to prove the English level (IELTS score), academic certificates and diplomas provided by students applying for studying in Dutch universities.

To register for Neso certificate, you need: Neso certificate registration application form, IELTS test transcript (educational background) and educational background, degree certificate and transcript (in Chinese and English). Students only need to send or fax copies of the NesoCertificate registration form and IELTS test transcripts, as well as copies of previous academic degree certificates and transcripts to NesoBeijing. Registration by email is not accepted.

Step 5: Apply for MVV Express Visa.

After applying for Neso certificate, you can apply for MVV express visa. This step is relatively easy in the process of studying in the Netherlands, because because the Netherlands implements the visa return policy, you can basically apply for a visa after you apply for the NESO certificate and the school admission notice, unless you delay time.

Students who stay in the Netherlands for more than 90 days need to apply for an MVV visa. Fast MVV visa refers to the MVV visa that students apply to the Dutch Immigration Bureau (IND) instead of students after being admitted to a Dutch school. Most Dutch schools can apply for this visa for students. The visa processing cycle is generally 4-6 weeks. Students who successfully pass the visa examination by the Immigration Bureau will be notified by the embassy or consulate to go through the visa formalities at the Dutch embassy or consulate where their household registration is located (website: www.hollandinchina.org).
