Student Visa New Zealand
New Zealand Study Visa For Indian Students
New Zealand has grown into a popular international student option, with more than 1,25 lakh students visiting the country to pursue quality education. Indians account for a large number, with about 30,000 Indians in New Zealand (as of 2015) following their educational dream. This popularity can be explained by the fact that to prove their English skills Indians don’t have to write the IELTS exam mandatory. Additionally, one may enroll in private training institutions, allowing them to pursue their choice of profession. Scholarships and an inexpensive lifestyle (as opposed to other nations) meant that more Indian students would prefer to study in New Zealand.
The Government of New Zealand offers an opportunity for all Indian students to study in the country but as a requirement, you must first obtain a student visa. The visa you need depends on what sort of research you want to do, and how long you expect to stay in New Zealand. We provide students with an end to professional guidance in compiling and submitting applications for student visas to Immigration New Zealand. If you are older than 18 years and want to study for more than six months in New Zealand than we are going to help you out.
