If you applied for the master you may need a visa (MVV) and/or residence permit to study in the Netherlands but this depends on your nationality. In both cases, the Immigration office at Zuyd University of Applied Sciences will apply for your visa and/or residence permit on your behalf. 

As soon as you have applied for your study programme in Studielink, as of May 1^st, you will receive a separate e-mail with instructions to start the online application procedure for your visa and/or residence permit. Here, you have to fill in all the mandatory questions and upload the requested documents.

The final deadline for submitting all required documents in the online application process is July 1^st. Documents submitted after July 1st will not be processed.

Please keep in mind that the application process for a visa and/or residence permit is an official process and requires the utmost input from the student. If your documents do not meet the requirements mentioned in this document, you will receive them back and you will have to adjust them accordingly. This can be very time-consuming, so make sure you carefully check your documents before submitting them. 

If you are a non-EU candidate, you probably need two visas for the LHI programme. It depends on your passport. The Dutch visa and residence permit are valid in Spain but not Ireland (EU Directive 2016/801).
