Application Form MVV

Application form for authorization for temporary stay (MVV)

Anyone who intends to stay in the Netherlands for longer than three months must be in possession of an authorization for temporary stay (MVV). An application for an MVV must be made in writing. Only a referee may make an application from within the Netherlands. The referee is the person who will receive the alien in the Netherlands, and that is why the IND needs information from you too, as referee. Complete the MVV application form, sign it and send it to the IND together with the required documents. The IND will assess whether the alien might be eligible to stay in the Netherlands for longer than three months. It is the aim of the IND to make a decision within three months of receipt of your application.

Residence permit

The procedure in the Netherlands
After arrival in the Netherlands, the alien applies for a residence permit at the local Aliens Police. Here he will have to sign a statement about the past. Furthermore, the alien might be ordered to report to the local health service for a tuberculosis check. (This does not apply to citizens of the European Union, European Economic Area, Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, Suriname, United States, and Switzerland including Liechtenstein).

The decision
The Immigration and Naturalization Service (IND) will make a decision. They will inform the alien of their decision by post. If your application is approved, the residence permit can be collected from the Aliens Police. The residence permit is valid for a period of one year after the date of arrival.

If the application is denied, the IND will inform the alien of their decision by post. The alien can object and eventually make an appeal later if he does not agree with this decision.
