Are part-time jobs limited to 20 hours per week for students in Netherlands/Sweden?
No, the part-time work limit depends on the country.
- Sweden: There is no official cap on work hours for international students. However, most universities recommend not exceeding 15 - 20 hours/week to balance work and studies.
- Netherlands: If you are a non-EU/EEA student, you can work up to 16 hours/week during the academic year with a work permit, or full-time in June, July, and August. EU/EEA or Swiss students have no work hour restrictions.
Always prioritize your studies, and note that work permit rules and limits are subject to change.
