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.

Very professional, quick in processing all documents, available on the phone and via email at any time, responsive and pleasant to work with!
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.
Last year Elena helped me to enroll the University of the Queensland, she was so responsible person and helped me with the whole procedure.
Future Option met all our expectations. My husband and I were not sure whether it would be possible to get a student visa. However, they made every effort to ensure that all documents were in the best order. Even now, when we got the visa, Future Option team provides us support and is available for all the questions we have. Best recommendations for this agency!
I am really satisfied with Elena's professional approach. Her support, counseling and commitment were on a very high level through the whole process of gathering documents and visa application.
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.
