Immigration New Zealand has made student visa processing quicker by giving staff better tools. This means applicants will get visa decisions faster.
Due to a 20% increase in student visa applications compared to the peak period in 2022/2023, Immigration New Zealand expects a high number of applications from February to March 2024, especially from students already in New Zealand applying for subsequent visas. The cost for a New Zealand student visa starts at NZD $375, and in 80% of cases, processing takes within 6 weeks.
For those thinking about studying in New Zealand, there’s the Fee Paying Student Visa. To study full-time, applicants need to apply for a Student visa, covering the course cost and registering with an approved education provider.
