Note that your current nationality is leading, even if you have a Dutch or European residence permit. You can check via the website of the Dutch government if you have an EEA nationality. When your nationality is not on the list, you have a non-EEA nationality. The visa/residence permit procedure only starts after accepting your Offer of Admission, be aware of those deadlines as well: When receiving your rank on 15 November, you must accept the Offer of Admission on the same day, in order to start arranging your visa in time, see: Visa deadlines (utwente.nl)
