Bank transfer information
Are you transferring funds to Leiden University as part of your visa or residence permit application?
Check which bank account
Leiden University has two different bank accounts. One for visa/residence permit fees and living expenses, and the other for tuition fees. Check carefully below which bank account you must use for each payment type.
Visa/residence permit fee and living expenses
When transferring funds, always state the nature of the transfer, followed by your seven digit student number (from uSis) and your full name. For example:
- Visa/residence permit fee, 1234567, First name Family name
- Living Expenses, 1234567, First name Family name
