Proof of Financial Means 💶
Throughout the visa application procedure, Saxion will send all paperwork to the Dutch Immigration Service (IND). For this we need proof that you have sufficient financial means to pay for the relevant costs and support yourself during your entire study period in the Netherlands. The payment of the tuition fee is not sufficient to prove your financial means.
How much do you need to prove?
To calculate the sufficient financial means, you should multiply the monthly amount (set by the IND) by the number of months you’ll be living in the Netherlands. If you stay longer than 12 months you should multiply the monthly amount by 12 months. You may deduct the insurance fee and housing fee (only in case Saxion will arrange your housing, excl. deposit fee) from the total amount to prove.
