Visa & Immigration Notes for International Students

• Student visas generally require an offer of place, proof of funds, health insurance, and English language evidence.

• Completion of qualifications at levels 7–9 may lead to eligibility for a Post-Study Work Visa (PSWV); however recent NZ immigration rules have updated PSWV durations and requirements — check the current rules on the official Immigration New Zealand website before planning your study.
