Minister: also QR code for international students without BSN

 

Students from outside the EU do not always receive a certificate valid in the Netherlands if they have been vaccinated in their home country and thus miss out on the corona QR certificate in the Netherlands. As a result, they still have to get tested when they go out, for example.

International students must be registered with a Dutch municipality, have a citizen service number (BSN) and then travel to health authority GGD in Utrecht to obtain the corona access certificate.

In response to parliamentary questions, Minister Hugo de Jonge of Public Health indicated that he expects that in the short term people without a BSN number can be helped more quickly. He acknowledged that there are groups, such as students from outside the EU, who now have “difficulty obtaining a corona access card”.

There will also be an extra GGD location. At the GGD in Utrecht, some 24 thousand people have already received a QR-code. The GGD in Groningen is now also making preparations to be able to convert foreign vaccination certificates as of the second half of October, reports De Jonge.

Possibly a third GGD location will be added. But “in view of the specific knowledge required for evaluating foreign vaccination certificates” this will remain the case for the time being, the minister expects.
