If your plan is to study some vocational or study program, as well as English language course that lasts more than three months in New Zealand, you will need a student visa.
Student visa allows you to study in New Zealand but also to work part-time jobs (up to 20 hours a week) during your semesters while on breaks you are allowed to work full-time. If you are studying Master by Research or PhD studies you have the opportunity to work full-time. Student visa allows you to bring your family with you (spouse, de facto partner and your children). The same working conditions that apply for a student also apply for the partner.
Student visa is issued on the period of your studies, up to four years.
Application for a student visa is submitted online through official website of New Zealand’s Home Affairs.
Visa fee for student visa application is 295NZD and the average processing time is around 49 days.

Elena helped us to fulfill our dreams so I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of studying and living in Australia. She was extremely professional during the whole procedure and visa application so it was my pleasure to work with her.
Last year Elena helped me to enroll the University of the Queensland, she was so responsible person and helped me with the whole procedure.
Elena is a wonderful person who was patently answering on all questions and who was not giving false hope. She was always positive and trustworthy.
Very professional, quick in processing all documents, available on the phone and via email at any time, responsive and pleasant to work with!
I would like to thank Elena on the amazing service she gave me through the whole process. This was huge step for me and in every moment I had Elena's full support.
