You must show evidence of a scholarship encompassing your tuition costs or be accepted into a course at an educational institution identified by the Ministry of Education or the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) in order to be qualified for a student visa.
The fee-paying student visa, a total of NZ$295 to be submitted for online from outside of NZ, is the most common visa that international students desire to enter New Zealand. Based on your nationality, applying for your visa through the mail might be simpler and cheaper.
Process for getting a New Zealand study visa (fee paying student):
Get an offer letter: After you get the offer letter from the selected school, you will be asked to cover study abroad cost or any upfront tuition and housing costs.
Obtain a medical examination: a physician who has been accepted by Immigration New Zealand must do a medical examination on you.
Get a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC): you can obtain a proof of clearance from a Regional Passport office or from the Deputy Commissioner of Police for your area.
Create an account and apply online: Make an account and apply online; you might also be able to submit your application by mail. Don’t forget to prevent your application fee payment receipt.
Please ensure to remain updated on any changes in immigration policies that might impact your application.
