- I am a new student who transferred from another type of EU-Residence Permit (RP). (e.g.transfer from other EU countries to the Netherlands, fromanother university within the Netherlands, from a zoekjaar RP to a student RP, etc.)
A signed and stamped bank statement on headed paper with a minimum amount of EUR 15,000,00 (must be dated after we inform you that we have received your payment) is required. For visa reasons, you will need to make sure that the deposit is free from restrictions or conditions; therefore, a statement such as “the account owner can withdraw the full amount in this bank account at any time” should be included in this letter. If the account type is either savings or current, then the above said clause should not be mentioned in the bank statement.The account will be in your or in your sponsor’s name. If the latter, here is the extra required information and documents:
If the bank statement is from a private sponsor, please completely fill the Appendix Financial Statement of Support_Private Person Form.
If the bank statement is from a company sponsor, please completely fill the Appendix Financial Statement of Support_Company Form.
For the company sponsor, we need proof that the sponsor is authorised to grant the amount to the student - the proof can be obtained from the bank itself/local Chamber of Commerce (1.17).
Kindly note that the balance outstanding payment always must be added on top of the bank statement required amount. Additionally, a Payment Plan is also should be made for that balance outstanding payment with the Finance/Registry Department before issuing a bank statement.
