International Student Visa Requirements

This is a two-day course delivered at locations in New Zealand. An international student travelling from India to attend in person will need appropriate permission to enter New Zealand.

• A Visitor Visa allows eligible visitors to study for up to 3 months in any 12-month period. A two-day course is within this study-duration limit, provided the visitor meets all visa conditions.

• Indian passport holders should check the Visitor Visa requirement before travel; they should not assume they can enter using an NZeTA.

• The current Visitor Visa application cost starts at NZD $441, and Immigration New Zealand reports that 80% of applications are processed within 2 weeks. Processing times and fees can change.

• Applicants must demonstrate genuine visitor intentions, sufficient funds or acceptable sponsorship, and plans to leave New Zealand at the end of their stay.

• Applicants paying their own expenses generally need at least NZD $1,000 per month for living costs, or NZD $400 per month if accommodation has already been paid.

• A Visitor Visa does not permit ordinary employment in New Zealand.

• A Student Visa is generally required when the intended study in New Zealand exceeds 3 months. This short course alone does not establish eligibility for a Student Visa or a post-study work visa.
