If you have a valid residence permit that can still be extended, you may not be eligible to extend it for specific purposes of stay, such as the Working Holiday Program, Cultural exchange, Au Pair, Stay as a trainee or student on work placement, or Orientation year in the Netherlands. However, as long as you meet the requirements specified on the relevant web page for your residence permit, have a valid passport or travel document, have your primary residence in the Netherlands, pose no threat to public order or national security, and have provided accurate and complete information during your initial application, you may still be eligible to extend your residence permit.

Saravanan Kumar · Answer

Hello there, a valid residence depends on which category you come under. However, I can help you with your question. The MVV is a provisional residence permit that grants entry into the Netherlands for individuals intending to become residents rather than tourists. It should be noted that the MVV itself is not an official residence permit. The applicant or their sponsor can initiate the MVV and residence permit application process concurrently before travel. This procedure is called the TEV (Entry and Residence Procedure). I am wishing you luck with a successful process.
