The Netherlands has different residence routes for work, study, family and other purposes. This is orientation, not an eligibility decision; IND and your sponsor control the application.

Residence permission and BRP are different
A residence permit or MVV answers whether you may enter or stay for a purpose. BRP registration records where you live. Complete both where your route requires them.
Prepare documents early
Foreign civil-status documents may need legalisation and translation. Ask the IND, sponsor and municipality exactly which versions they accept for your route.
Häufige Fragen
Do all non-EU citizens need an MVV?
Not all. The requirement depends on nationality and residence purpose. Check the official IND and Government.nl route for your case.
Can I register in the BRP before my residence permit?
Do not assume it. Follow the entry and residence instructions for your route and ask the municipality which documents it needs.
When will I receive a BSN?
If you register as a resident in the BRP and do not already have one, the municipality normally issues a BSN.
