Visa Application
Process
Visas are obtained from your nearest local Dutch
Embassy. However, before applying for a visa you
must have a permission to land letter (PLL) from
the local immigration department on the island
of St. Eustatius. To obtain the PLL we (the school)
must apply on your behalf for an island Temporary
Residency Permit.
To obtain this the student MUST
first be officially accepted to the University
and send to the medical school on island ALL
of the documentation that is listed under ESSENTIAL
IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTATION.
These original
documents (NO copies will be
accepted) should be forwarded to the following:
University of Sint Eustatius School of Medicine,
Attn: Immigration Affairs, All Run Building, Golden
Rock, Sint Eustatius, Netherland-Antilles, Dutch
Caribbean. Once the school is issued with the
PLL this will then be Federal
Expressed to the student, allowing for the student
to apply for application for Visa from their nearest
local Dutch Embassy.
Additional to the PPL the student
must also present for visa application at the
Dutch Embassy the official acceptance
letter from the school.
The subsequent Visa that is then
given to you must be with you to enter St. Eustatius.
If you do NOT have this visa
on you on your arrival, you will be refused entry
by immigration.
The section above details how
to obtain a visa for entry to the island of St.
Eustatius. Once on island we (the school) on your
behalf must apply for a temporary residency permit
for you. Therefore, even if you are from one of
the countries that require a Visa for entry into
St. Eustatius, you must ALSO
bring to the island with you the documents listed
under ESSENTIAL
IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTATION.
