Student Visa 

If you want to study a full-time course in New Zealand that’s longer than three months in total duration, you’ll need a student visa. You can see a full list of student visa requirements and apply for your visa online at the Immigration New Zealand website.

Most student visas take 20-25 working days to process, but can take longer if more information is needed.

To ensure your visa is processed as quickly as possible, you will need to submit all the required information, documents and fees with your application. If you are applying from within New Zealand, make sure you apply at least four weeks before your student visa expires.
