Work opportunities

There are plenty of work opportunities available for international students. A student is allowed to work up to 20 hours a week through the semester; during vacations they can work up to 40 hours.

Ease of visa acquisition and residency

The visa acquisition process is incredibly simple, and unlike many other countries, the students will not be rejected right away. They get to talk to people and tell them their side of the story if there is something that may prevent them from getting a visa to come into the country. New Zealand welcomes immigrants more than almost any other country in the world.

Migration and Job search Opportunity

Opportunity to settle permanently in New Zealand: – If a student complete his/her course successfully, he/she automatically gets a 12 months ‘Work Permit’ under the student visa policy. In most instances this permit will be done at institution itself. This allows students to work full time in any job of their choice. However if a student wants to get a New Zealand Permanent Residency (PR), then he/she has to find a job that is relevant to the course that he/she has completed.
