Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has enhanced the efficiency of student visa application processing by equipping its staff with more effective assessment tools and updated letter templates. This improvement allows for a quicker evaluation of student visa applications, enabling INZ to promptly communicate the outcomes to applicants.
With a 20% surge in student visa applications compared to the peak period in 2022-23, and anticipating continued high volumes up to March 2024, particularly from students seeking subsequent visas, New Zealand has proactively addressed this influx. INZ has bolstered its processing team and equipped them with enhanced tools and templates, ensuring clearer and more consistent communication through decision letters.
While successfully managing the increased application volume, INZ has also noted a rise in the complexity of applications, necessitating additional processing time. INZ regularly updates information sheets on the official website to provide comprehensive guidance to international students during the visa application process.
