Before you make your application, ensure you have:
For courses less than nine months you’ll need access to
For courses of more than nine months you’ll need access to
(Evidence of funds can be bank drafts, bank statements with your name on it or letters of credit.)
What is a “full-time” place on a course?
It’s a place on a course that requires you to attend for at least 20 hours a week. Or it’s taking at least 3 papers a semester at a university or similar. If you plan to study only part-time, you may not qualify for a student visa and you may be better to apply for a visitor visa instead.
What about medicals? Will I need to provide these?
Yes, you will need a completed Medical and Chest X-ray Certificate if you plan to stay in NZ for more than 12 months. This must be less than 3 months old when you submit your application. Medical and travel insurance to cover the whole time you’re in New Zealand is highly recommended.
Anything else?
You’ll need a police certificate if you intend to study in New Zealand for more than 2 years. A police certificate is required from your country of citizenship, as well as from any country in which you’ve lived 5 years or more since you were aged 17. Police certificates must be no more than 6 months old when you submit your application.
