What a student visa allows
A student visa allows you to travel to the
New Zealand border. When you arrive in
New Zealand an immigration officer will check
that you meet all the requirements to be
granted a permit to study in New Zealand.
What a student permit allows
A student permit allows you to study full time
in New Zealand for a limited period of time.
A student permit may have conditions you must
meet—for example, it may name:
• the course you are allowed to study
• the educational institute
• the New Zealand location of the institute.
Apply for your permit on campus with
