Is It Required To Be a First-Year Student To Rent A "Welcome To NL" Offer?

No, it is not required to be a first-year student to rent a "Welcome To NL" offer.

While this offer is specifically designed in collaboration with Student Housing Hunter to support (first-year) students who often need extra assistance with securing housing and setting up essential services like insurance, bank accounts, and mobile phone subscriptions, it is still available to students who may need additional guidance, regardless of their year of study.

Please note: Accommodations marked with the ‘Welcome to NL’ tag are exclusively available to international students who are moving to the Netherlands for the first time. We verify this by checking the address provided in the application form. If you are unable to provide an address from abroad — for example, if you are a Dutch citizen — these accommodations are unfortunately not available to you. In such cases, we advise exploring our other listings instead.
