If you wish to study in the Netherlands, information is provided below.

Cameroonian citizens who wish to come and study in the Netherlands must get a Netherlands or Dutch visa (Schengen) before beginning studies. It is important to note that Dutch regulations about residence in the Netherlands are very strict. In most cases, you will need an ‘authorisation for temporary stay' (MVV) to even enter the Netherlands. When remaining in the Netherlands for more than 3 months, you will need a residence permit.

As a result, obtaining an admission in a university or a visa of entry to the Netherlands, it would be necessary to start the formalities at least 6 months before the beginning of the session from which you are intending to begin your program of study. To learn more about this, we advise you to visit the website of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs www.minbuza.nl, or the website of the immigration and naturalisation Service: www.ind.nl
