New Zealand Study Visa

If students will be staying in New Zealand for more than 3 months, then they need to apply for student visa. Once students have their visa, they can stay in the country for more than four years and can get permission to work up to 20 weeks, for that they must be enrolled with any higher education institution of the Country.

At Global Opportunities, we provide students with an end to end professional guidance in compiling and lodging the student visa application to Immigration New Zealand through their commercial partners in India M/s TT Services Pvt Ltd.

Documents Required for New Zealand Student Visa

To get a visa to study in New Zealand students must meet Immigration New Zealand’s requirements. If students are enrolling in a program of study for the first time, then they need to have an offer of place from a New Zealand education provider.

The offer of a place:
An offer must include:
• The education provider’s name and contact details
• The name of the program of study and the minimum time required for completing it,
• Proof that the program of study and program of study provider meet New Zealand’s requirements for international students,
• The amount of the fee for the complete program of study, or if the program of study is longer than one year, the annual fee,

• Whether the study is full-time or part-time, and
• Confirmation all requirements under the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students are met (including accommodation for under 18-year-olds and program of study prerequisites).

Tertiary Education Providers

Tertiary education providers can offer a program of study to international students if they meet certain conditions.
• Private training establishments (PTEs) can only offer international students the approved program of study that is longer than three months and registered with the NZQA. The PTE must be accredited by the NZQA to offer the program of study
• Institutions including universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and wananga can only offer an approved program of study that is longer than three months and registered with the NZQA. The institution must be accredited to offer the course. The enrolment of an international student must not prevent a New Zealand student or an NZAP student from gaining a place at the same institution.
