🚨Adviser update🚨
Immigration New Zealand has announced key changes to student visa settings, effective from 27 October 2026. Here is what you need to know:
• Master’s-by-Research Work Rights: Unlimited work rights have been removed. All Master’s students are now aligned with standard settings (up to 25 hours a week during study, full-time during holidays).
• Visa Extensions: For most students, visa validity after a course ends is being extended from 1 month to 2 months, giving you more time to plan your next steps.
• English Language Ability: Immigration officers can now request evidence of English proficiency (like an approved test) if there are concerns.
• Provider Compliance: Visa processing can be suspended while an education provider is being investigated for non-compliance.
