Fees: costs of an application

San Marino and Israel

Based on the Benelux Treaty, citizens of San Marino and Israel do not pay for the application for a provisional residence permit (MVV). Therefore, they do not have to pay for the TEV-procedure (joint application for MVV and residence permit). 

Association agreement EC-Turkey

Turkish nationals pay a lower rate for applications for the following residence permits:

• Work on a self-employed basis
• Paid employment
• Work experience
• Seasonal work
• Research under Directive (EU) 2016/801
• Highly skilled migrant
• European blue card
• Looking for a job after study, promotion or scientific research
• Au pair
• Residence as a family member of a Turkish citizen (also if you do not have Turkish nationality yourself). Family members are the spouse or registered partner, (grand)child or (grand)parent. The low rate does not apply if the Turkish citizen has a residence permit for study, medical treatment or for spending leave in the Netherlands. Nor if the family member and the Turkish citizen are unmarried and do not have a registered partnership.

The low rates also apply if you have another nationality in addition to Turkish nationality, for example Dutch nationality. Are you applying to stay with a Turkish citizen in Netherlands and does this person also have Dutch nationality? With the application, please then also send a copy of a valid Turkish passport or ID card. State in an explanation that you are doing this in order to qualify for the low fee rate.

8 EVRM

Are you applying for a provisional residence permit (MVV) or residence permit for family reunification or family formation and do you want an exemption from the costs on the basis of Article 8 ECHR? Then you must submit the following documents with the application:

• A T-2 personal income statement issued by the Legal Aid Council (Raad voor Rechtsbijstand). This income statement must state that the principal person has had no income and no assets in the year in question.
• Means of evidence showing that you and/or the sponsor cannot obtain sufficient funds in the short term to pay the costs for the application. You must also make it plausible that you and the sponsor cannot receive financial support from family members or other persons or organisations. You can, for example, show evidence of applications for loans that have been requested from family, friends, acquaintances and banks, but which have not been granted.

Long-term resident EU

You are a long-term resident EU if you hold an EU residence permit for long-term residents in the Netherlands. Or you have this status in another EU Member State and you have a temporary residence permit in the Netherlands.

The fees for this permit you find under Permanent residence permit​/Long-term EU residency. The fees also apply when you have a permit for long-term EU residency in the Netherlands and you apply for family reunification. Or when you apply for a permit for long-term EU residency in the Netherlands and at the same time apply for family reunification.

(Required amounts as of 1 January 2024)
