Your IDP Education counselor will guide you through
the application process for your New Zealand student visa.
To receive a
student visa, you have to prove that you have enough money to pay for living
expenses, education costs and travel for your entire stay in New Zealand.
For your student visa you may
also require:
·
Offer
letter: The New Zealand
Qualifications Authority (NZQA) offer letter to international students, which
lists minimum course duration, course fees and whether the fees are applicable
at domestic or foreign rates.
·
Guarantee of
Stay (for students aged under 18 years): A written document from an institution or person
that states that the student has suitable accommodation arranged in New
Zealand.
·
Health and
medical requirements: If you are
staying in New Zealand for more than six months then you need to be screened
for tuberculosis. For a longer stay, medical and X-ray certificates need to be
provided.
·
Work plans: If you plan to work after your studies in New
Zealand then your IDP Education counselor may be able to provide basic guidance
about the visa options available, but you will need to contact a migration
agent for further assistance.
·
Proof of
English: An IELTS score to
demonstrate competency in English is necessary to apply for a student visa to
study in New Zealand. You will need to meet IELTS score prerequisites to gain
admission to the top universities in New Zealand. Some education providers do
consider your English scores in year 12.
