There are several different routes available for students to come and study in New Zealand. A benefit of these visas is that the applicant can apply to bring family members with them. The most common visa is the fee-paying student visa. This lasts for up to 4 years but is most generally only available until your studies are concluded. You will be permitted to study on a course full-time through an educational institution that is a recognised sponsor. Furthermore, you will be able to work part-time for up to 20 hours a week.
