International Student Visa Requirements

For an Indian citizen travelling to New Zealand to attend this one-day, in-person course:

• Indian passport holders are not included in New Zealand's visa-waiver country list. An Indian citizen will generally need to obtain a Visitor Visa before travelling.

• A New Zealand Visitor Visa allows eligible visitors to study for up to three months in any 12-month period. This one-day course falls within that study-duration limit, subject to the individual visa conditions.

• Visitor Visa holders cannot work in New Zealand.

• Applicants must have genuine reasons for visiting, sufficient funds for their stay or an acceptable sponsor, and plans to leave New Zealand at the end of their visit.

• The current published Visitor Visa cost starts from NZD $441, with 80% of applications processed within two weeks. These are general Immigration New Zealand figures and may change.

• A Student Visa is generally required for study lasting more than three months. It would not normally be required solely for this one-day course if the applicant meets the Visitor Visa requirements.

• This short course does not, by itself, establish eligibility for a Post Study Work Visa.
