New Zealand continues to be one of the most attractive destinations for international students. It offers world-class education, stunning landscapes and competitive tuition fees.

While many countries are making it harder to get a student visa, New Zealand is still welcoming those who want to study here long term. If you are planning to study toward a bachelor’s degree or higher, now is the time to apply.

Applications are open for the next intake

Student visa applications are now flooding in for the July and August semester. One of the biggest reasons for delays or declines is poorly prepared applications.

Immigration New Zealand needs to be satisfied that applicants genuinely intend to study, have enough funds to support themselves, and will leave New Zealand at the end of their studies if no other visa pathway is available.

Apply early to avoid disappointment

The best time to apply is at least three months before your course starts. This gives time to prepare a strong application and avoids the risk of missing your place.
