Student Visa NZ

Study in New Zealand with Confidence – Get Your Student Visa Approved

Studying in New Zealand offers a world-class education and the chance to experience an enriching new culture. At Sharma Law, our experienced immigration lawyers help students from around the globe prepare strong, compliant New Zealand student visa applications so they can begin their academic journey with confidence.

What You Need for a New Zealand Student Visa

To apply for a New Zealand student visa, you’ll need to meet several key requirements:

• A valid offer of place from a recognised New Zealand education provider
• Evidence of English language proficiency
• Health and character clearance
• Proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses
• For applicants under 18, evidence of accommodation and care arrangements

Additionally, Immigration New Zealand must be satisfied that you’re a genuine student with clear academic intentions and a plan to return home or follow a legitimate post-study path.

Can I Work on a Student Visa in New Zealand?

Yes. Most full-time students can work up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and up to 40 hours per week during holidays. Choosing the right course can also lead to a Post-Study Work Visa and a potential pathway to residence.

Your Responsibilities While Studying in NZ

To remain compliant with your New Zealand student visa conditions, you must:

• Stay enrolled in your approved program of study
• Maintain satisfactory attendance
• Hold valid health insurance
• Leave New Zealand at the end of your course unless applying for another visa
