NEW ZEALAND STUDENT VISAS
NZ STUDENT VISA
All adult migrants wishing to study full-time for longer than three months will need an international student visa. Deciding on the best course for your career progression can be daunting, but with the right advice, you will be in a better position to decide which course best suits your needs.
​
With recent changes to immigration policy, including stricter eligibility criteria for residence, it's important to consider the job opportunities and residence pathways (if any) your chosen course will provide. You will want to know if you'll be eligible for a post-study work visa after completing your studies, and whether or not your qualification will get you into jobs that provide a pathway to residence. For most people, trying to understand all of this will be very confusing, since the rules and criteria are complicated, so it is best to speak to an immigration professional before deciding which course to study.
​
Once you've acquired a student visa, it is also extremely important to adhere to the visa conditions. A breach of visa conditions can have serious implications for future visa applications. If you have breached your visa conditions, we can help you to choose a different course and/or explain your circumstances to Immigration New Zealand.
