Is a dependent visa available for a master's student in Sweden or the Netherlands?
24 Aug 2026 · Answered by Swathi Boppana · 1 min read
Yes, both Sweden and the Netherlands allow master's students to bring dependents.
- Sweden: Your spouse/partner and children can apply for residence permits to join you. You must show you can financially support them. Each dependent needs a separate application.
- Netherlands: Your spouse/partner and children can apply for a dependent residence permit. You are responsible for their applications and must prove sufficient funds. Processing can take up to three months. Family members may have work restrictions.
Visa rules and requirements are subject to change.
