How a Fee Paying Student Visa gets filed

Four stages from offer to arrival.

Offer from an NZQA-approved provider

Secure a confirmed offer of place from an NZQA-approved education provider. The provider must be on Immigration New Zealand's approved list. We verify the provider, course level, and Green List occupation alignment before you commit.

Funds and health evidence

Demonstrate NZD $20,000 per year in living funds plus first-year tuition already paid. A chest X-ray is required for students from high-TB countries planning to stay 6 months or more. Police certificates required if your total NZ stay will exceed 24 months.

Online application

File the Fee Paying Student Visa application online through the Immigration New Zealand portal. We prepare the full bundle: offer letter, fund evidence, health certificates, and a genuine intention statement where required.

Arrival and work rights

On arrival, you may work up to 25 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time in holidays. From your first week, we track your Post-Study Work Visa timeline and Green List residence eligibility.
