Extra considerations international students

Be aware that if you work or (in some cases) do a paid internship during your studies, you must take out Dutch public health insurance. See the insurance page for new international students for details.

If you are working alongside your studies, you are entitled to at least Dutch minimum wage. 

• Check the minimum wage for your age

There are no rules concerning salaries for interns in the Netherlands. This is between you and your internship provider. In some cases you might receive payment, in other cases not.

Note that doing a paid internship may affect your tax and social security status. You may also have less time for a part-time job which could impact your finances.

Have you worked or done a paid internship? It's possible that too much tax was withheld from your salary. If you submit a tax return, you may be eligible for a tax rebate.
