Upon departure
After completing your studies at the UT it is important that you complete the following formalities.
|
Upon departure you must arrange your de-enrolment at the UT (not applicable for exchange students). If your de-enrolment is not arranged in time, you will continue to be charged tuition fees! |
|
|
Expiration of Residence Permit |
After the expiration of your residence permit you are allowed to stay in the Netherlands for 28 more days. However, you are not allowed to leave and re-enter the Netherlands on the same residence permit. If you graduate before your residence permit expires the UT will end your residence permit for study. |
|
If upon completing your studies you wish to seek employment within the Netherland you can extend your residence permit for a maximum duration of one year. |
|
|
If you are leaving the Netherlands (or if you are moving to another Dutch city) you must deregister at the GBA (Municipal Register of Enschede). To be deregistered from the municipal register, fill in a ‘declaration leaving Enschede’ and either hand it in at the Stadskantoor (Hengelosestraat 52) or send it to publiekszaken@enschede.nl. |
