Dear all,
Finally, we can give you some more answers regarding your visa and the programme. Please read the e-mail carefully and completely.
Visa
The attached .pdf document shows whether your student visa has been approved or not. Look up your Saudi ID number and see if yours is marked with an 'x'
If it is, please make sure you have an appointment booked via the on-line booking tool at
Embassy of the Kingdom of The Netherlands in Riyadh, SA before travelling to the Embassy.
For all companions: you need to book a separate appointment for visa application. Please contact the Embassy directly, they can assist you in booking the appointment, and can tell you which papers to bring. All companions should apply for a tourist visa, because of the limited time available.
Once you have the visa in your passport, as well as your companion, please notify us of this immediately via (تم حذف الإيميل لأن عرضه مخالف لشروط المنتدى). That way, we can see who is ready for departure.
Arrival to Groningen
Because of the expected long visa processing time, we are forced to move the deadline for arrival, so that you have sufficient time to arrive. Together with Maastricht University, we decided on the period of 24 April - 2 May 2010. This means the following:
We expect all students + companions to arrive between 24 April - 2 May 2010. Arriving earlier is not accepted, and there will be no practical support, hotel arrangements, pick-ups and/or courses available before 24 April 2010.
After receiving the tickets, please let us know your exact arrival date, time (GMT + 1) and flight number at least 3 days in advance, via e-mail. We need to hear it from you directly, so not via other students, or students already in our programme. Also tell us the mobile phonenumber you will use during your travels, so we can contact you in case of emergency.
IELTS and/or TOEFL
IF you receive IELTS or TOEFL test results before departure, please send then to us asap. That way, we can determine what your English language level is, and customise the course programme. Please note that there will be additional language tests for everyone after arrival.
Companions
During the first weeks, all attention will be focused on starting the students with their studies and practical affairs. Companions will have to wait until the companion meetings are organised. Then the companion's situation (visa/study/stay) will be discussed.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Kindest regards,
University of Groningen

Dear all,
Attached the latest version of updated approvals for visa. Please note that the Embassy needs a few days to process your application.
If your name is not marked with an x, don't worry, it will happen in the next few days.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
