for Chinese citizens: From 1 February 2004 all Chinese students are required to register with The Netherlands Education Support Office (NESO) in Beijing for what is called a "Neso Certificate". This is a document that provides an assessment of the candidate's English language proficiency as well as of the educational degrees and diplomas that are required to gain admission to a Dutch institution of higher education.
