Parking permit for foreign students

Are you studying at Maastricht University or Zuyd University of Applied Sciences from abroad? If your study commitments require you to travel multiple times a week to Maastricht from your address abroad, you may be eligible for a parking permit for international students. Please note that the car used for these travels must be registered under someone from your household.

Applying for a student parking permit

An international student parking permit allows you to park at a reduced rate. Upon receiving your student parking permit, you'll be given detailed information about where and when you can park.

You can only apply for the student parking permit by appointment at the GemeenteLoket (municipal service desk). Call 14 043 (or +31 43 350 40 40 from abroad) to book an appointment.

If your application is approved, you'll need to pay the permit fee immediately at the GemeenteLoket. Your permit will then be effective immediately.

Bring to the appointment

Bring the following documents with you to your appointment:

  • Your personal registration document from your home country. This document should not be older than 3 months.
  • a statement of who is registered at this address (only necessary if the vehicle is registered in the name of someone living at the same address). This document should not be older than 3 months.
  • Your enrolment document for the 2023/2024 academic year.
  • A copy of the vehicle registration certificate in the name of someone living at the same address or in your own name.

If you do no bring the correct documents, we will not be able to issue a permit and you will need to make a new appointment.
