Visa & Immigration

What you need to know about the visa and immigration process for studying, living and working in New Zealand.

New Zealand is a globally in-demand place to study, making it a prime destination for 90,000 international students each year. The process for obtaining a student visa is relatively efficient, with an average visa processing time of around 30 working days.

 

To study in New Zealand for more than 3 months, you will need a student visa. The main requirements include proof of a placement offer from a recognized educational institution, evidence of sufficient funds to cover tuition fees, living expenses, and travel costs.

 

Once you have been accepted to a Landed course of study, our expert consultants will help guide you through the full process and paperwork for acquiring your visa.

New Zealand has a forward-thinking immigration policy designed to attract talented professionals to live and work in the country long-term. Through one of our study programs, you can gain permanent residency in New Zealand with your family in less than 2 years, at a significantly lower cost than other pathways.
