The recognised institution files the study application
IND states that the educational institution applies for this higher-education permit. The route requires a recognised sponsor and a full-time, accredited study programme.
Do not rely on this as current guidance. Open the official source and obtain a new review.
Open source-review issue, observed 2026-09-03: Preview checker returned HTTP 200 with 1/2 markers. Both phrases were visible in the separately retrieved official page; the response difference is not yet explained. Review action and deadline →
Applies to: Applicants using the Dutch university or higher-professional-education student permit route.
Reference: IND guidance updated 2026-06-08
Limits, questions and provenance
Admission, funds and other conditions remain separate. Nationality and MVV exemptions matter; this does not determine personal eligibility.
Will your institution apply as a recognised sponsor?
Has it confirmed your programme’s accreditation and the route for your nationality?

Sponsor recognition is not programme accreditation
IND publishes a study-sponsor register and says it is updated monthly.
Do not rely on this as current guidance. Open the official source and obtain a new review.
Source watch / Separate from editorial review
Inspect the update signals.
The checker reads registered public pages only. Results are cached for up to six hours; a daily job is configured, not a guarantee of continuous monitoring. HTTP access and selected text markers cannot prove that a rule is current or applies to you. Successful checks never renew editorial dates or clear outstanding review issues.
Personal safety, salary, housing affordability, immigration eligibility, university quality and your chance of success require separate evidence. TGPI does not substitute macroeconomic indicators for these answers or issue an unsupported “best country” score.
No numeric living-cost estimate has passed this layer’s publication review for this destination. An immigration funds threshold or tuition policy must not fill that gap. Use the worksheet with your own dated quotes.
Build one scenario in one currency. Blank amounts stay unknown; enter zero only when a cost genuinely does not apply. Changing the country starts a new worksheet. Save or export first. Do not enter identity documents, account numbers or other sensitive identifiers.
Partial subtotal / Not a complete budget
Not calculated yet
Known monthly amounts × 12 months + tuition for the period + arrival costs + 10% contingency.
Known monthly amount: EUR 0 · Contingency: EUR 0
Still unknown: housing, food, transport, health, other, tuition, arrival. The subtotal must not be treated as the money you need.
Your quote date or source note is missing. The arithmetic does not validate your inputs.

Resolve the decisions that could change your plan.
Completion records your own review. It does not certify documents, legal compliance, admission or readiness to travel.
Identify the competent authority and applicable route. School admission is not entry permission.
Explicit save only. One active worksheet per account; saving replaces the previous worksheet, not your profile or course progress.
My existing quick monthly estimate
Your earlier USD estimate remains separate from the new detailed worksheet. It is not a country baseline and is not automatically added to your scenario.
My monthly estimate
Enter your own monthly estimate for Netherlands in USD. Use dated local quotes; no reference budget is supplied by TGPI.
Not set
Your estimate is stored in its stated currency. Older estimates in another currency are not converted or relabeled.
Educational estimate only. Validate current local prices before decisions.
Research checklist / Personal confirmation
Go to the responsible authority.
Use the dossier’s source links where available and confirm the applicable route with the responsible authority. The summaries do not cover every nationality, programme, profession or family situation. Your existing checklist is preserved below; a checkmark is your research record, not a certified document or legal approval.
