FAQ Collect your residence permit

See our list of frequently asked questions regarding the collection of your residence permit.

 

When will I receive my residence permit?

 

You will receive an e-mail from AUAS Immigration Affairs when your residence permit is ready for collection at the IND-office. This e-mail explains how you can schedule an appointment online. When going to the IND desk, don’t forget to bring your passport! Keep in mind that it is not always possible to visit an IND desk at short notice. 

Even without your residence document, you have the rights associated with your residence permit. Your residence permit rights are in the letter with the decision on your application (Kennisgeving). This letter will be sent to you by AUAS Immigration Affairs in the ‘immigration procedure update’ e-mail, as soon as we receive it from the IND. 

 

 

Do I need to collect my residence permit card?  

Collecting your residence permit card is one of the last steps in the immigration procedure. With your residence permit card you are entitled to study at AUAS and you will be living legally in the Netherlands. It allows you to enter and exit the Netherlands and travel through the Schengen area. Your stay in other Schengen countries is limited to a maximum period of 90 days. 

 


Can someone else collect my residence permit card? 

No, it is not possible that someone else collect your residence permit card. You need to go in person to the IND desk.
