Studying in New Zealand

NZ schools are made up of a culturally diverse student base. Before Covid-19 hit, as many as 100,000 international students would study in NZ over the course of a year, and much of the appeal of studying in New Zealand comes from the country’s focus on inclusivity. NZ schools offer a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for young migrants all around the world.

Student Visas: What You Need to Know

There are different visas that allow international students to study in New Zealand. International students who want to study in New Zealand for more than three months will require a student visa. If you already have a temporary work visa or visitor visa, you may be eligible to study in NZ for a specified period of time.

Please keep in mind that Immigration NZ has currently suspended student visa applications due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Get in touch with us today and we can talk to you about your options. Be sure to check our blog and news posts for recent updates.

Working While You Study

Are you interested in gaining part-time or full-time work while you study in New Zealand? Some international students on a student visa are allowed to work up to 20 hours a week during the school term, and full-time during the holidays and scheduled breaks. All student visa holders are not allowed to be self-employed.
