You will receive your residence permit a few weeks after arrival in the Netherlands at the Lifeport Welcome Centre at Radboud University’s campus. Student Admissions will contact you about the exact location and moment to pick up your residence permit.
The Lifeport Welcome Centre helps you with government services (offered by the municipality and IND), private services (such as a welcome programme and “family support” programme), and social activities. You can also receive information on matters such as health insurance, housing, banking, and filing income tax returns in the Netherlands.
