If you have graduated or obtained your PhD, you may be eligible for the orientation year for highly educated persons. One of the main requirements for the orientation year, is that you have obtained a Master's degree or a PhD from a Dutch university or a university that is included in the top-200 of the most recent Times Higher Education World University Rankings, the most recent QS World University Rankings, or the most recent Academic Ranking of World Universities (also known as the Jiao Tong Shanghai ranking).
The residence permit is issued for a maximum period of 1 year and will entitle you to seek suitable employment in the Netherlands. You then apply for a residence permit to seek and perform work in employment or otherwise.
If, after having read the information below, you have other specific questions regarding the orientation year, please do not hesitate to e-mail these directly to hemse@ind.minvenj.nl.
To come to the Netherlands, you will require a Provisional Residence Permit (mvv). An mvv is a visa that is issued for a stay longer than 90 days. You submit an application both for an mvv and a residence permit at the same time. This is called the Entry and Residence Procedure (TEV procedure).
Not everyone needs an mvv to enter the Netherlands. You can then submit an application for a residence permit directly.
