Practical questions
Can I register at the municipality?
Registration at the municipality is not possible at our short stay accommodations, as they operate in the touristic short stay sector.
Many international students and PhD candidates experience an in-between period before moving to permanent housing. During this period, Wageningen University & Research and the Expat Center / International Office can often provide a temporary registration address that can be used while staying in short stay or other temporary accommodation.
For information about temporary registration options, we advise you to contact Wageningen University & Research or the Expat Center directly, as arrangements may differ per situation.

Yes. We work with flexible conditions and a one-month notice period.
