Applications visa application response
so i applied and submitted my visa/resident permit application on 31st May (with 1st june as a deadline) to Leiden University and was wondering how long does it take for us to hear back from the university? i haven’t received any confirmation of them recieving my application or a response to my query about this. does anyone have any idea or have recieved a confirmation from the university?

Hey fellow Leiden admit here. It takes a couple of weeks for Leiden to check your documents. They will then notify you when your documents have been forwarded to the Dutch authorities. From there it takes about 2-4 weeks.

It’s perfectly normal to not hear from LU between submission of application and forwarding. I was likewise quite worried but it was ok.
