Deregister at the city hall

If your study period ends and you want to leave the Netherlands, you have to deregister at the municipality. Inform the Civil Affairs Department (burgerzaken) of your municipality within 5 days before your departure.

If you leave the Netherlands because of the Corona Covid-19 virus you only need to deregister, if you are not planning to come back to study in the Netherlands.

If you are planning an internship in another city or country for less than 8 months you don't need to deregister.
