International Service Desk

If you have recently arrived from abroad to work at Leiden University, you will have noticed that to enter the Netherlands and live and work here, you have to fulfil a number of formal obligations. In addition, you may have questions about accommodation, schools and other matters related to settling in a new environment. Please consult the international staff page for more information. For questions about procedures and all other matters, you can also contact the Service Point Personnel.
