A Student Visa is a legal document issued by the New Zealand government that gives you the authorisation to legally carry out your academic activities on New Zealand soil. Such a visa will allow you to study full-time for a stipulated period of time.
Depending on the type of course you wish to study in New Zealand, you may be eligible for a Post-Study Work Visa once you have completed your studies.
Student Visa: If you plan on studying in New Zealand for over three months, you will need to apply for a Student Visa. This type of visa allows you to go to school, take a course or conduct particular career-focused training in New Zealand.
To apply for this visa, you will need an official offer or confirmation of enrolment from an approved education provider.
Upon approval, you can stay in New Zealand for up to four years, work on a part-time basis (up to 20 hours a week) while studying, and work full-time during the holidays.
Remember: If you are enrolled in a masters by research or doctoral degree programme awarded by a New Zealand tertiary institution, your visa conditions will not have any restrictions on the hours you can work.
Any foreign individual aiming to study in New Zealand for a period longer than three months is required to obtain a Student Visa. If you plan on working in conjunction with your studies or once your studies are complete, you will need to apply for a specific type of Student Visa.
Depending on the type of visa for which you apply, you will be legally permitted to earn money from employment (up to 20 hours a week during the academic year and full-time during holiday periods).
Remember: If you are enrolled in a masters by research or doctoral degree programme awarded by a New Zealand tertiary institution, your visa conditions will not have any restrictions on the hours you can work.
If you are unsure whether you need a Student Visa or how to proceed, it is worth speaking with an immigration visa specialist.

The Typical Student Visa Application Process
The Student Visa application process is quite straightforward. Once you decide which Student Visa is needed, you must complete the relevant documentation required by New Zealand law and provide all supporting material required for the approval of your Student Visa application.
In the review process, your visa may be accepted or rejected. In some instances, you may be asked to provide more supporting documents, which can slow the application process.
