Having a visa and permit for study in New Zealand means you can study in New Zealand for a set time at a specified institution as a fulltime student.
Length of stay
You can only stay in New Zealand on a student permit for a limited time. In most cases we issue a one-year, renewable permit. If your course is longer than one year you need to reapply for each year of study.
If your course is based on the New Zealand academic year, and you’ve paid your fees for the year, you may be granted a student permit which expires on 31 March of the following year.
In some circumstances you can stay a little longer in New Zealand, but you need to apply for permission to change your permit. For example, you need to apply for a new student permit if you:
Want to undertake further study so you can meet the requirements for membership to a professional association,
or
Are about to complete your course of study and you’d like to remain in New Zealand for your graduation.
Part-time study
Ordinarily, you need to be studying full time to be eligible for a student permit. However, we may allow you to study part time on a student permit if you are:
Coming to New Zealand to study for at least three years and the course requires you to gain practical work experience as part of your study
or
Coming to New Zealand to study for a maximum of nine months, your course meets New Zealand's foreign student policy requirements, you can show us that you have paid the course fees, and you meet our visitor requirements.
or
In the final semester of a course of study in New Zealand, resulting in a New Zealand qualification that would qualify for points under the Skilled Migrant Category.
Working while studying
You can work part time while studying full time, under certain circumstances:
To meet course requirements for practical work experience, or
During the Christmas and New Year holiday period if you are in a full-time course of study lasting 12 months or longer, and/or
For up to 20 hours in any given week during the academic year if you are in full-time study:
At a private training establishment or tertiary institution and taking at least two academic years to complete, or

At a secondary school full year course of study in years 12 or 13, provided you have written permission from your school and written consent from your parent, or
In a full-time study course lasting at least six months, at a private training establishment or tertiary institution.

At a tertiary level of at least one academic year duration as part of an approved tertiary student exchange scheme.
People on visit or work permits who want to study
If you’re here on a visitor or work permit and you want to study full time for longer than three months, you need to apply for a student permit.
If you are here on a visitor or work permit and you want to study part time for longer than three months, you can apply for a Variation of Conditions to your current permit.
Why NZ govt. revoke a student permit
If you fail to meet our conditions of studying in New Zealand we may revoke your student permit. We will do this if:
You do not attend your course.
You work outside our restrictions.
You stop attending the course for which you were granted the permit and enrol in one we have not approved. You may be able to change courses or providers once you are here but you must first contact us so that we can either change your permit conditions or consider your application for a new student permit
Your NZAID funding stops, or
You are required to live with your parent or legal guardian and you do not live with your parent or legal guardian. Your parent or legal guardian’s permit may also be revoked in this case.
Once your permit is revoked you will no longer be lawfully in New Zealand and will have to leave.
