Study full-time at the course stated on your visa — this includes schools, tertiary (study after secondary school) and English language study. Student visa conditions require you to attend the place of study endorsed on your visa.
Work part-time up to 20 hours a week while studying or full-time in the holidays, depending on your visa conditions.
Live by yourself above a certain age, otherwise you will need to come with your parent or legal guardian.
If you want to bring your partner or children with you, they can apply for visas based on their relationship to you.
Your student visa is normally for the same length of time as the study you have paid for. It may be issued for a shorter time if your passport expires before the end date of your study.
You can apply for this visa if you are a distance learning or correspondence student studying outside New Zealand and you need to visit New Zealand for more than 3 months to attend your education provider, for example to do practical study or sit exams.
Your ability to speak or write English is not a student visa application requirement. Check with the education provider to see if they are required for an offer of a place on their course.
