Student Visa

International students who intend to join a study program in the land of New Zealand need to complete the requirements for the student visa. The New Zealand visa-issuing officer in your country will give students the required application forms. The significant documents requisite for the student visa are:
  • A proof from the educational institution in New Zealand that the student is selected for a study program.
  • Course fee payment: Evidences or proof of financial assistance, if applicable.
  • A complete and signed 'Application for Student Visa' form, with a passport-size photograph of the student.
  • A guarantee of accommadation in the form of a written assurance from an educational institution or other person that suitable residential accommodation is available to the student in New Zealand.
  • A valid passport of the student
  • Evidences showing adequate financial support for the entire period of the student's study-stay in the land of New Zealand.
  • Bank document/s showing that funds of the required amount will be available to the student in New Zealand for the entire period of study.
  • In case of students who got the scholarships or any other financial assistance, they need to produce proofs with details.
All these documents are essential before a student visa is issued. After a complete processing from the New Zealand government office, students will be issued a student visa. To be on the safer side, students are advised to apply for the visa at least a couple of months before the start of the course to avoid last minute confusions
