New Zealand Visas Guide for Indian Students:
Find out what Indian students need to know when applying for a student visa for New Zealand.
New Zealand may not be the most well known of destinations, but it is highly regarded among international students for its high class education and desirable lifestyle.
Currently, New Zealand attracts as many as 90,000 international students every year. By 2025, the nation’s government intends to double this intake to 180,000.
What type of visa do I need?
If you need to stay for longer than three months in New Zealand for your educational program, you’ll need a Student Visa. International full-time (more than 20 hours a week of classes) students should apply to Immigration New Zealand (INZ) for a student visa.
It is worth noting that that certain criteria must be met before anybody can study in the country.
How long will it take to process?
In New Zealand restructured its visa application process, making it more efficient and student friendly. As well as improved standards of service, authorities now aim to deliver 80% of student visa applications within 30 days.
They aim to improve this to 90% within 25 days.
How much does it cost?
A student visa will cost you US$185 (INR 8,463.29). The INZ, New Delhi, does not accept cash or credit cards – you will have to pay through a bank cheque or a draft.
Can I work while I study?
Full-time international students are permitted to work for a maximum of 20 hours in a week while they are studying. They can also work full time during holidays.
Foreign students who wish to work while they study must apply for a variation of the conditions of their student visa. This can be done either while filling out the initial application or later – as long as their student visa is valid.
Can I work after graduation?
To encourage international students to stay after completing their courses, the New Zealand government, allows those with no job offers in hand to get a visa for up to 12 months, and work at a temporary job while they search for job in their chosen field. The set of rules under which this is allowed is known as the Graduate Job Search Work Instructions.
Students who secure a job offer upon the successful completion of their degree need to apply for a Graduate Work Experience visa under the Study to Work Instructions. This allows them to work for two years in New Zealand, in order to gain some practical work experience relevant to their qualifications.
The Graduate Work Experience visa can be granted for three years in the case of eligible overseas students who intend to gain a membership or register with a New Zealand professional association which requires more than two years of relevant work experience to join.
What about immigration opportunities?
Candidates who meet all the requirements are eligible for a Work to Residence visa. The category of visa you will get will depend on whether your occupation is on the Long Term Skills Shortage List or not.
• If you apply for a visa through an immigration adviser, be sure that they are licensed. The INZ may decline your visa application if it has been filed on your behalf by an adviser who is not licensed. Visit the Immigration Advisers Authority for more details.
• New Zealand defines full-time students as those attending a private training establishment (PTE) for at least 20 hours each week; studying at least three papers, or the equivalent, each semester at a tertiary institution other than a PTE; or attending a primary, intermediate, or secondary school for at least one school term.
• You can also apply for a student visa when you are already in New Zealand. A student visa granted onshore will usually include travel conditions allowing multiple journeys, so you can travel out of New Zealand and back in before the expiry of the visa.
• Students Online is a service that makes applying for student visas easier, coming into being through an arrangement between Immigration New Zealand and selected education providers. If you are studying with an education provider that is part of Students Online, you can apply for your student visa at the international office on campus. For a list of education providers that are part of Students Online.
• If you are aged 17 or under you may have to be accompanied by your parent or legal guardian.
• Foreign students can also bring their car or household items to New Zealand without having to pay any customs duty.

New Zealand study visa Rule:
Visa for Indian Students for Study in New Zealand
Updated on: Aug 7, 2012
If you are an international student wanting to study in New Zealand, you would be requiring a student visa. For applying for a student visa, you need to hold a valid passport which will be valid three months past the end of your planned stay.
Learn more about Student Visa and its necessity.
When do you need a student visa?
Under all conditions, as an Indian student studying in New Zealand, you would require a student visa unless your course is less than 3 months, then you would not need a student visa but a visitor visa.
If you are enrolled in two or more short courses (whether at the same time, or one after the other), then you need a student visa or permit, unless you are on a working holiday visa or permit.
Difference between Student Visa and Student Permit:
Student Permit: A student visa allows you to travel to the New Zealand border. When you arrive in New Zealand an immigration officer will check that you meet all the requirements to be granted a permit to study in New Zealand.
Student Visa: A student permit allows you to study full time in New Zealand for a limited period of time. A student permit may have conditions you must meet—for example, it may name:
the course you are allowed to study
the educational institute
the New Zealand location of the institute
Visa Requirements:
Ensure that you meet the visa requirements before you apply for a student visa. To get a student visa you must include:
minimum time required for completing the course and name of the course
proof that the course and course provider meet New Zealand’s requirements for international students, and approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA)
total course fees and amount of annual fees, if the course is longer than one year
nature of course fees, whether domestic or foreign fees
whether the course is full-time or part-time
To acquire a student visa, you need to show sufficient proof that you are able to fund yourself during the entire stay:
Evidence includes:
financial assistance available to you under aid programmes operated in New Zealand by a government agency
that you have enough money in New Zealand by you, or on your behalf
somebody undertakes the responsibility to cover your accommodation and living costs in New Zealand
an undertaking by a New Zealand sponsor to cover your accommodation and living costs
You must also demonstrate your intention of leaving the country after completion of your course.
Do Not Bring the Following Items Into New Zealand:
Firearms and weapons, unless a permit is obtained from New Zealand Police on arrival at the airport, this includes sporting firearms (The New Zealand Police Web site has more information on importing firearms)
Class A drugs
Certain drugs (e.g. diuretics, depressants, stimulants, heart drugs, tranquillisers, sleeping pills), unless in their original bottle with a doctor’s prescription
Ivory in any form
Tortoise or turtle shell jewellery and ornaments
Medicines using musk
Rhinoceros or tiger derivatives
Carvings or anything made from whalebone or bone from any other marine animals
Cat skins or coats
