Is accommodation address required for a Netherlands study visa?

Accepted answer

This question is similar in nature to the one linked below and should also be read.

In general, it is not advised to finalize travel arrangements before a visa is issued.

Some application forms explicitly state 'if known' when asking for an accommodation address, others don't.

The Schengen Border Code does not state that suppling an address, upon application for a visa, is mandatory.

You will, no doubt, be suppling a letter from your home institution in Russia.

This letter, or in a second letter, should state that they will be organizing the travel and accommodation arrangements.

If this letter also states that they prefer to do this after the application is granted, then it should be clear to the Embassy or Consulate why the field has not been filled.

What is important is that the accommodation address must be known when entering the Schengen Area.
