FAQs
​

​

​
I will be studying in New Zealand, can I apply for residency after I graduate?
International students who study in New Zealand Universities or Tertiary Institutes can in limited situations apply for Post Study Work Visa, Skilled Migrant or Residence from Work Visas. This all depends on specific factors that a Licensed Immigration Adviser can discuss in detail with you. What worked for your friend or family may not necessarily work for you. A Licensed Immigration Adviser will be able to determine if your programme of study and circumstances will allow you to apply for a work or residence visa after.
