New Zealand Study Visa Process in 5 Simple Steps!
1. Apply for a college/university:
You can apply online for admission to that particular college/university. You can even apply offline through a paper application method.
While applying for the NZ study visa, you will be asked to submit a few documents. Submit the documents and complete the application process. And then wait for the offer letter.
2. Arranging medical certificate and police clearance certificate (PCC):
The medical examination must be done by a doctor approved by the New Zealand Immigration Department.
Simultaneously, you have to apply for the Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) from the office of Deputy Commissioner of Police or Regional Passport Office of your area.
Now you have to lodge your visa application along with the required documents. You can check the list of documents needed for different study visa categories from the immigration website of New Zealand.
4. Paying the tuition fees.
After lodging the visa application, you will receive the “Approval in Principle (AIP).” This approval comes from the Immigration New Zealand website. You have to pay the tuition fees for the first year to the respective college/university.
5. Wait for the final outcome.
Once you have submitted the visa application form and paid the fees, it is time to wait for the final decision. The officials will notify you about the outcome of your New Zealand study visa application in your email.
If your application is accepted, the immigration NZ officer will soon grant you a visa.
