HAN email

To set up your HAN email account, you need to go to the main HAN account page. Log in by filling in your login code and password. Then click on 'HAN mail' and once more fill in your login and password.

Non-EU students who DO need an MVV need to make an appointment at the Dutch Embassy to apply for the MVV and to receive the MVV sticker in their passport.
