学生签证（无论是在境内还是境外签发）允许您在有限的时间内在新西兰全日制学习。学生签证可能附带您必须满足的条件，例如可能包括：

• 您被允许学习的课程名称

• 教育机构的名称

• 该机构在新西兰的地点，以及

• 持有可接受的保险的要求

如果您参加一个或多个课程，总时长不超过三个月，且这些课程已获得新西兰学历认证局 (NZQA) 的批准或豁免（请参阅 NZQA 网站），则无需申请学生签证。在这种情况下，您可能需要申请访问签证。此外，在小学、初中或高中进行单次不超过三个月的学习也不需要学生签证。该学习必须在同一日历年内完成。

​

课程费用

如果您在新西兰境内或已持有学生签证，您需要提供已支付课程费用或获得课程费用豁免的证明。如果您在新西兰境外首次申请学生签证，您必须证明您有足够的资金在您的学生签证原则上获批后支付课程费用。

担保

担保要求详见《临时入境担保表格 (INZ 1025)》。如果您有担保人，他们必须填写表格，您必须将其与您的申请表一起提交。

 

经济担保

经济担保可以由第三方提供。如果第三方是个人，他们必须是亲戚或朋友。如果不是个人（即实体），则必须指定一名授权联系人。他们必须填写《学生经济担保表格 (INZ 1014)》，您必须将其与您的申请表一起提交。

注意： 经济担保只能为以下学生提供：

• 在新西兰境外首次申请签证的申请人，或者

• 如果为首次学生签证申请提供经济担保的同一第三方继续提供经济支持，则在新西兰境内申请续签学生签证的申请人。

担保人和保证人的真实意图要求

担保人和提供经济担保的第三方都必须让移民官员相信，他们确实打算履行其经济义务，并且为他们所支持的每位学生持有足够的资金。

 

自有资金

如果您打算自己提供经济支持，新西兰移民局 (INZ) 需要的证明取决于您在新西兰的学习时长。如果您学习时间少于 36 周，您需要提供每月 1250 新西兰元的资金证明。如果您学习时间为 36 周或更长，您需要提供每年 15000 新西兰元的资金证明。

 

自费国际学生的保险要求

自费国际学生（不包括新西兰援助计划支持的学生）必须持有可接受的保险作为其签证的条件。可接受的保险单是指符合《国际留学生关怀实践准则》保险要求并被您的教育机构接受的保险单。您无需在学生签证申请中提供保险单的证明，但是，您需要在申请中声明您将做出必要的安排以满足此条件。

 

基本技能工作签证持有人的受抚养子女

如果您的父母一方持有基本技能工作签证，您需要提供其工资或薪金达到最低收入门槛的证明。最低收入门槛为每年 33675 新西兰元（税前）。可接受的证明包括雇佣协议和/或工作描述的原件或经认证的副本，其中工资或薪金等于或高于最低收入门槛。如果您的父母双方都持有基本技能工作签证，在确定是否达到最低收入门槛时，双方的工资或薪金都可以考虑在内。

持有学生签证期间可以工作吗？

在学年期间，您可能被允许每周工作最多 20 小时。在每个学年末的圣诞节和新年假期期间，您也可能被允许全职工作。要工作，您需要申请更改您的学生签证条件。

 

就业类型限制

持有学生签证的人不得自雇、提供商业性性服务或经营或投资卖淫业务。

Student Visa

A student visa (whether granted onshore or offshore) allows you to study full-time in New Zealand for a limited period of time. A student visa may have conditions you must be meet – for example, it may include:

• the name of the course you are allowed to study

• the name of the educational provider

• the New Zealand location of the provider, and

• the requirement to hold acceptable insurance

You do not need a student visa for one or more courses of study, up to a total of three months, that the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) has approved or exempted (see the NZQA website). In this case you may need to apply for a visitor visa.  A student visa is also not required for a single period of up to three months’ study at a primary, intermediate, or secondary school. The study must be completed within that calendar year.

Course Fees

If you are in New Zealand or already hold a student visa, you need to provide evidence that you have either paid the course fees or that you are exempt from course fees. If you are outside New Zealand applying for your first student visa, you must show you have sufficient funds to pay the course fees once your student visa is approved in principle.

Sponsorship

Sponsorship requirements are detailed in the Sponsorship Form for Temporary Entry (INZ 1025). If you have a sponsor, they must complete the form and you must send it with your application form.

Financial undertaking

A financial undertaking can be provided by a third party. If the third party is a person, they must be a relative or a friend. If not a person (ie an entity), an individual must be nominated as an authorized contact. They must complete the form Financial undertaking for a Student (INZ 1014) and you must send it with your application form.

Note: Financial undertakings can only be provided for students who:

•          are outside New Zealand applying for their first visa application, or

•          are applying for a further student visa in New Zealand if the same third party who provided a financial undertaking for the first student visa application is continuing to provide a financial support.

Bona fide requirements for sponsors and guarantors

Both sponsors and third parties providing the financial undertaking must satisfy an immigration officer that they genuinely intend to meet their financial obligations and hold sufficient funds for each student they are supporting.

Own funds

If you intend to support yourself, the evidence INZ needs depends on how long you will be studying in New Zealand. If you will be studying for less than 36 weeks, you need to provide evidence of funds of NZ$1250 for each month of study. If you will be studying for 36 weeks or more, you need to provide evidence of NZ$15,000 for each year of study

Insurance requirements for foreign fee paying students

Foreign fee-paying students (excluding New Zealand Aid Programme-supported students) are required to hold acceptable insurance as a condition of their visa. An acceptable insurance policy is one which complies with the insurance requirements of the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students and is acceptable to your education provider. You do not need to provide evidence of your insurance policy with your student visa application, however, you are required to declare in your application that you will make the necessary arrangements to meet this condition.

Dependent children of Essential Skills work visa holders

If one of your parents holds an Essential Skills work visa you will need to provide evidence their wage or salary meets the minimum income threshold. The minimum income threshold is NZ$33,675 per annum gross. Acceptable evidence includes original or certified copies of an employment agreement and/or a description of the work with salary or wages equal to or higher than the minimum income threshold. If both your parents hold Essential Skills work visas, both wages or salaries may be taken into account when determining if the minimum income threshold is met.

Can you work while holding a student visa?

You may be allowed to work for up to 20 hours each week during the academic year. You may also be allowed to work full-time during the Christmas and New Year holiday period at the end of each academic year. To work you will need to apply for a variation of conditions to your student visa.  

Restrictions on type of employment

People who hold student visas may not be self-employed, provide commercial sexual services, or operate or invest in a business of prostitution.
