New Zealand Student Visa

If you wish to study for more than three months, you must apply for the appropriate study visa in accordance with New Zealand embassy requirements. These fall into three categories:

Student Visa New Zealand

Student visas for school and college applicants are awarded on acceptance into an academic institution. Their length is dependent on the length of the course, and how many years’ tuition fees you have paid up front. If you are a scholarship student, your visa may be granted for the period of the award. In all cases, a visa is awarded for a maximum of four years. Start your free assessment to see if you can apply.

Exchange Student Visa

If you need an exchange student visa for New Zealand, you must have been accepted into an approved student exchange scheme, and prove that you have onward travel arrangements for when the scheme has finished.

Visas for Accompanying Parents and Guardians

If you have a child under the age of 18 studying in New Zealand you will also need to apply for a guardian visa. To be eligible, your child must have been accepted into an academic institution and have his or her study visa for New Zealand.
