Request eligibility for the statutory tuition fees or university tuition fees I

​Below you can submit an application to check whether you are eligible for lower tuition fees. Once the online form has been completed, it will be automatically sent to the Immigration Service Desk (ISD). The ISD will then check whether you are indeed eligible for lower tuition fees on the basis of the information you have filled in. It takes around 10 working days for the ISD to process the request.

There are a number of criteria you will need to meet in order to send us an application. Students might be eligible for lower tuition fees if they meet all the conditions below:

1. Student is enrolled for a study programme at the University of Groningen
2. Student will only qualify if you have not previously earned a similar degree in the Netherlands (RIC article 12, paragraph 1, sub a). 
3. Student meets the nationality requirement. This requirement will be checked by the ISD by means of this form and the necessary documents.

Should it be the case that you do not meet the first two requirements mentioned above (no. 1 and 2), it will unfortunately not be possible to forward the form. 

Personal information


Registration at the University of Groningen

The following 2 questions are essential to check your eligibility. If you answer 'no' to any of these questions, you will unfortunately not be able to submit the form.  
 

Check on nationality / residence permit card status

Now there will be a personal questionnaire with which the ISD will assess whether you are eligible for lower tuition fees. This is for the nationality requirement. At the end of this form, you will be asked to upload document(s) as proof of the answers given to the questions.

 

Required documents

Based on your answers, you will now be asked to upload a number of documents. These scans must always meet the following conditions:

- scanned in colour
- good quality
- in pdf format
- all documents together must not exceed 25MB
   
By submitting this form, I declare that I have filled in all the information truthfully. You cannot derive any rights from this form. I am aware that if I have not passed on something that has been requested or passed on incorrect information, this may have consequences for the outcome of the results.

The form cannot be opened. This form requires files to be attached. Unfortunately, the system that you use (Safari on iOS) does not support this.
If the person you are staying with also has a Dutch residence permit type I with the purpose of staying with a family member (Verblijf als familie- of gezinslid), you also need to submit a copy of the Dutch residence permit card of the person mentioned on that residence permit card. If the person is of Dutch nationality please submit a copy of the Dutch passport or identity card.
