باكستان ← سانت مارتن (الجزء الهولندي): First Time Student Permit

Documents that are unclear, incomplete, or not legible

Documents must be submitted in PDF format only, and must be legible and clearly show the required information, or the application cannot be processed.

كيف تتجنب ذلك: Scan every document clearly and check that all text is readable before you upload it.

Police record or birth certificate not properly translated or legalized

Your police record and birth certificate must be legalized (or carry an apostille) and translated into Dutch or English, and must meet the age limits (6 months for the police record, 3 years for the birth certificate).

كيف تتجنب ذلك: Get these documents translated and legalized well before you apply, and check the dates are within the limits.

Waiting for a decision while already on the island

First-time applicants must wait for the decision on their residency application abroad, not on Sint Maarten.

كيف تتجنب ذلك: Submit your application and remain outside Sint Maarten until you receive a decision, unless the Immigration and Border Protection Service tells you otherwise.
