What is the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND)?
The
IND is the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service and is part
of the Ministry of Security and Justice. The IND assesses all visa
and residence permit applications from foreign nationals who want
to live in the Netherlands or want to become Dutch citizens. The
Dutch law does not allow students to apply for a study residence
permit themselves. That is why the University of Groningen will
contact the IND on your behalf to arrange your visa and/or
residence permit application.
