What this service covers

This service covers advice and representation for New Zealand student visa applications at all tertiary levels, including certificates, diplomas, degrees, and postgraduate study through to PhD level. It includes guidance on selecting appropriate courses, preparing applications, and ensuring your study pathway supports your longer-term immigration goals.

​

New Zealand qualifications are well regarded internationally, and studying at a recognised tertiary institution or university can support both employment opportunities in New Zealand and overseas.

​

Who this is for

This service is suitable for individuals who wish to study in New Zealand and require a fee-paying student visa, particularly those planning to undertake tertiary education.

It may also be appropriate for applicants who:

​

• Want to align their study with future employment opportunities

• Are considering residence pathways in the future

• Wish to bring their partner and/or children with them to New Zealand

• Are seeking a course that strengthens long-term immigration prospects

 

Common concerns

Many applicants are unsure about:

​

• Which course or qualification will best support future work opportunities

• Whether their chosen study pathway will assist with residence eligibility

• Work rights while studying

• Bringing family members to New Zealand

• Eligibility for a post-study work visa

 

These are all important considerations that should be assessed before lodging an application.

 

How the process works

The process typically begins with an assessment of your background, career goals, and immigration intentions. From there, an appropriate course and institution can be identified to ensure the study plan is credible and aligned with Immigration New Zealand requirements.

​

Once enrolment is confirmed, the visa application is prepared and submitted with supporting documentation. Where relevant, longer-term pathways such as post-study work rights and potential residence options are considered as part of the overall strategy.

 

What information is usually required

The documentation required will vary depending on your circumstances, but commonly includes:

​

• Passport and identity documents

• Offer of place from an approved education provider

• Evidence of funds and financial support

• Academic history and qualifications

• English language evidence (if applicable)

• Information about any accompanying partner or children

• ​

Additional information may be required depending on the course level and personal circumstances.
