The move comes after years of promoting the Netherlands as an attractive destination for international students, a strategy that has inadvertently led to challenges such as housing shortages and limited course accessibility for local students due to the surge in international enrollments.
There has been a decrease of 220 international students in undergraduate courses in the Netherlands over the past year.
Google search trends also mirror the Netherlands’ popularity among international students, with significant increases in searches for “studying in the Netherlands” and “studying in Amsterdam.”
Data from Statistics Netherlands has unveiled a fascinating trend – a significant number of international students are choosing to stay in the country after completing their studies.
Approximately 32 percent of international students elected to live and work in the Netherlands one year after completing their studies.
The new regulations will not exclusively target Chinese students. They will be applicable to all students coming from outside the European Union, as per the ministry’s statement.
