Student Visa/Permit Information
Student visa's and permits are endorsements recorded in your passport. All visitors to New Zealand must carry a passport that is valid for at least three months beyond the date you intend to leave the country. A student visa allows you to enter or reenter New Zealand. It shows that you have permission to travel to New Zealand. The visa can be issued for either one journey, or for more than one journey. A student permit allows you to study while in New Zealand.

You do not need a visa or permit to visit New Zealand if you are:
- A New Zealand Resident Permit holder

- A passport that is valid for at least three months after your departure from New Zealand
- An onward or return ticket to a country that you have permission to enter
- Sufficient money to support yourself during your stay - approximately NZ$1000 per month per person
