Good news for eligible international students! ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ

Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) is now available as a provider under the Funds Transfer Scheme (FTS), giving eligible students more choice alongside ANZ.

The FTS provides a secure way for eligible students to transfer and access their funds while studying in New Zealand.

๐Ÿ“Œ The scheme is currently available to eligible students from China, India, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

๐Ÿซ For university and polytechnic students: BNZ and ANZ are available under the scheme.

๐Ÿซ For Private Training Establishment (PTE) students: ANZ remains available, as BNZ is not currently offering FTS to students outside universities and polytechnics.

At Visas for NZ, we share important INZ updates to help our clients stay informed about changes that may affect their New Zealand study and visa journey.

๐Ÿ“ข NEW INZ UPDATE: Minimum Age Introduced for Partnership-Based Visas
From 25 September 2026, new age and evidence requirements apply to dedicated partnership-based visa categories.

๐Ÿ‘ซ Both partners must be 18 or older when the application is made.

๐Ÿ“„ Partnership evidence must also be from after both partners turned 18.

Evidence from before both people were 18 will not be used by Immigration New Zealand to assess the relationship.

๐Ÿ’™ Which visas are affected?
The changes apply to partnership-based:
โ€ข Visitor Visas
โ€ข Work Visas
โ€ข Residence Visas
โ€ข Culturally Arranged Marriage Visitor Visas

This includes partnerships with a New Zealand citizen, resident, work visa holder or student visa holder.

โš ๏ธ Important for couples:
For partnership-based residence, the 12-month living-together period can only start counting once both partners are 18 or older.

๐Ÿ“Œ Planning to apply based on your partnership?

Make sure you understand the latest requirements before applying.

Trafficking can involve forced labour, forced criminality, sexual exploitation, coerced marriage, and domestic servitude.

For migrants and visa applicants, understanding your employment rights, visa conditions, and legitimate immigration processes is important.

Be cautious of anyone asking for money in exchange for a job or promising guaranteed visas or employment.

At Visas for NZ, we provide professional immigration advice through a Licensed New Zealand Immigration Adviser.
