FAQs
This depends on your course level.
- Master’s (Level 9) & PhD: Yes, your spouse gets an Open Work Visa.
- Bachelor’s/Diploma (Level 7/8): Generally, NO, unless your specific degree is on the “Green List” of ineligible qualifications. SD Edu Services will check this eligibility for you.
- Level 7: Bachelor’s Degree or Graduate Diploma (1 year).
- Level 8: Postgraduate Diploma (1 year).
Level 9: Master’s Degree (1.5 – 2 years). Recommendation: We advise Indian students to aim for Level 9 to secure the 3-year post-study work visa.
It is straightforward if you study the right course. If you secure a job in a Tier 1 Green List role (like Engineering, IT, or Health) after graduation, you can apply for “Straight to Residence.” For other roles, you may need to work for 2 years (Work to Residence).
Ideally, you should start your application by January or February to secure your seat and apply for scholarships.
Admission Requirements & Documents
A clear checklist to show the user you handle the paperwork
- Academic Transcripts: X, XII, and Bachelor’s Degree (Minimum 60-65% usually required).
- IELTS / PTE / TOEFL scorecards. (NZ is strict—waivers are rare. Typically 6.5 overall with no band less than 6.0).
- Statement of Purpose (SOP): Explaining why you chose NZ over other countries.
- Police Clearance Certificate (PCC): Mandatory for the visa application to prove good character.
- TB X-Ray / Medicals: Required for courses longer than 12 months.
- Financial Proof: "Funds to Maintenance" (approx. NZD $20,000 per year) + Tuition fees.
The New Zealand Student Visa Process
Simplifying the complex visa procedure.
- Offer of Place: Receive an offer from a university or college.
- Medical & PCC: Complete your chest X-ray and obtain a Police Clearance Certificate before lodging the visa.
- Visa Lodgement: SD Edu Services submits your application online via RealMe.
- AIP (Approval in Principle): The most important step! Immigration NZ assesses your profile and gives "Approval in Principle."
- Fee Payment: Only after getting AIP do you pay your tuition fees to the university. This protects your money.
- Final Visa: Once the university confirms payment receipt, the final e-Visa is issued.
