Work Visa for international students/graduates

Those from other countries who want to study in New Zealand would need to apply for a New Zealand Student Visa first. Allow full-time students to work part-time for up to 20 hours a week during the academic year. During the summer, they could work full-time for up to 40 hours a week.

Candidates can apply for a post-study work visa after they finish their course, and they can work for up to three years and do almost any job. This is based on the level of qualification they earned in New Zealand. Work visas are also short-term and would need to be changed into a residency visa, which would allow the holder to stay indefinitely and use more state-funded public services.
