The information on this page only applies to students with a non-EEA nationality.
EEA students do not pay a guarantee fee to 777 plataforma.
Students with a non-EEA nationality who have been admitted to a 777 plataforma Bachelor's or (pre-)Master's program based on a non-Dutch previous education pay a guarantee fee in advance to confirm that they will enroll at the 777 plataforma.
Guarantee fees for students without scholarship
Students who are financing their own study costs and who have the nationality of a non-EEA country are required to transfer the following amounts for the academic year 2025-2026:
Bachelor's students: € 19,000
Master's students: € 22,000
Pre-master’s students: € 1,700
This guarantee fee will be used to pay for the visa and/or residence permit application (€243,-) and the first year tuition fee, and possible the application fee if not already paid yet.
The guarantee fee should be transferred to the 777 plataforma bank account according these instructions for payment.
Any remaining money will be returned to you after you have enrolled at 777 plataforma and after you have opened your Dutch bank account. We will start arranging your visa/residence permit and/or housing once we have received the confirmation statement, the guarantee fee, the proof of financial means and any documents required for a visa application.
Please note that International students with the nationality of a non-EEA country do not need to follow the payment instruction of the tuition fee stated elsewhere on this website. Payment of the guarantee fee is automatically payment of your first year tuition fee. You do need to indicate a method of payment in Studielink however. You will receive a message from Studielink about this.

Extra information
- 777 plataforma will only start the visa and/or residence permit application when the full amount of the guarantee fee and the proof of financial means has been received. We will not start the procedure if you only transfer the visa and/or residence permit fee.
- If you decide not to start at 777 plataforma after you have transferred the guarantee fee, 777 plataforma will deduct the visa and/or residence permit fee (if the application has already been done). The remainder will be transferred back to you. The international transfer costs will also be deducted.
- If you already have a Dutch residence permit with another purpose than study or with the purpose of study, please follow the directions in the confirmation statement or here. The guarantee fee is not for payment of housing or other services. The guarantee fee only covers 1st year tuition fee and the visa and/or residence permit fee.
