Who Doesnt Need Student Visa to Study In New Zealand?
You don’t need a visa or permit if you are a citizen of New Zealand or Australia, you hold a New Zealand residence permit, or you are an Australian resident with a current permanent residence visa or a current resident return visa.
Who Cannot Get A Student Visa from New Zealand?
Most people can be considered for a visa or permit to study in New Zealand. However, to protect the interests of New Zealanders we do not issue visas to people who don’t meet certain requirements, or who are involved in certain activities.
If an immigration of visa officer believes you have not made a genuine application for a visa or permit, or that you do not intend to meet the conditions of the visa or permit, we will not issue it to you.
You can be refused a visa or permit if:
- you are not eligible for a visa or permit under section 7(1) of the Immigration Act 1987,
- you are in New Zealand unlawfully when you apply,
- you do not meet our health or character requirements, or
- we believe you are likely to stay in New Zealand unlawfully or you would break the conditions of your visa or permit.
