Non-EU students

Cornerstone is recognized by the Dutch educational authorities as an institution for additional higher education on the basis of our accreditation by the EEAA. This recognition allows Cornerstone to receive students from outside the European Union.

Visas for non-EU students are granted on two conditions:

1. The immigration authorities demand that the non-EU student pays a guarantee sum of € 9800,- to a Cornerstone bank account before issuing the visa.(This money covers the fees for two years study at Cornerstone and can be used for this purpose. If any money is left over at the end of the course, it will be reimbursed)

2. Cornerstone can only get visas for non-EU students who do the full two year diploma course. (Non-EU students with transferable credits from another Bible Colleges, equivalent to the first year, can obtain a visa to do the second year).

Though we have a contract with the immigration authorities for a shortened visa procedure, non-EU students need to apply early in order to allow enough time to process the visa application.
