You can start the Visa process for New Zealand a maximum of 120 days before the course/program start date. The student needs to undergo Medical and Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) before applying for the New Zealand visa.
Moreover, preparing for a New Zealand visa application varies in complexity. For the visas, you'll need to get all the evidence together before you submit your application. Mostly, visas can be applied online. Others can be sent through us along with the application forms, passport, and other supporting documents. We will then assess the documents, prepare the visa file, put a covering letter/summary, and forward it to New Zealand High Commission through TT Services New Delhi along with the DD of visa fees.
The visa interview is the last stage of the application process, where one of the Consular Officers will ask questions to assess the applications. The New Zealand High Commission will then assess the file and give decisions like AIP (Approval In Principle) in approx 2 to 4 weeks.
Our Visa team is fully equipped and experienced to guide you through the process. Please connect with our Relationships team and our Visa team, should you need any assistance with your student Visa.
FUND TRANSFER SCHEME The student needs to transfer the living expense of one year to a bank account (ANZ Bank) in New Zealand, in addition to paying the tuition fee. A student needs $15,000 to pay the living costs for each year of study in New Zealand. This is the minimum amount the student needs to transfer to the FTS account. The tuition fee should be deposited to the university after receipt of AIP, from the funds shown in the Visa file. The amount deposited as FTS will be locked for twelve months and is then drip-fed to the student on a pre-arranged basis.
A student can apply for a visa to New Zealand even after a gap of 10 long years if he/she can show credible information about what he/she has been doing in the 10 years in terms of work experience, studies, and skill set.
