Is my residence permit for study purposes still valid after I completed my study programme in the Netherlands?
When you graduate, your enrollment at you educational institution will be ended. How long your residence permit remains valid, depends on your situation:
- Your residence permit for study purposes is valid until 3 months or less after the date your enrollment at your educational institution ends.
In this case, your residence permit will remain valid until its end date ór until the start date of your orientation year, whichever comes first.
- Your residence permit for study purposes is valid for more than 3 months after the date your enrollment at your educational institution ends.
In this case, your residence permit can be revoked after those 3 months if you do not apply for the orientation year, or for a residence permit with another purpose of stay, within those 3 months.
- You end your study programme without graduating.
In this case, your residence permit may be revoked immediately
