serif”;”>New Zealand opens its doors to everyone who is interested in being part of its educational system as a bona fide student. NZ offers the opportunity for you to study at high-quality secondary schools as well as undertake a range of qualifications run by quality assured tertiary institutions. However, there are a few requirements that have to be met prior to studying in New Zealand.  As a rule, if you are going to stay and study for more than three (3) months, then you are required to get a visa or a permit.

 

To enroll and study in New Zealand, you don’t need a visa or a permit if:

1.You are a citizen of Australia or new Zealand.

2.       You hold a New Zealand residence permit.

3.       You are an Australian resident with a current Permanent Residence Visa or a Current Resident Return Visa.

4.       You are studying a single short course of less than three months duration. This course must be approved and exempted by the NZA or The New Zealand Qualifications Authority which is the government agency responsible for quality assurance of qualifications. If you are taking more than one short course however, whether enrolled at the same time or after the other this time you would need to apply for a student visa or permit.

NZ does not consider a term spent on studying at a primary, intermediate or secondary shool as a short term course therefore a student visa or permit should be applied for.

You need to comply with the following requirements if you wish to study and stay for a longer period of time in New Zealand. (Link to How to Apply for a Student Permit Visa for New Zealand article)

All overseas students who wish to study at a New Zealand institution can get information about courses of study, fees and academic entry requirements from the New Zealand Embassy or High Commission in their home country.
