INZ Brings Changes to the List of Qualifications Eligible for a Post-Study Work Visa

November 19, 2024

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) INZ has made changes to align the list of qualifications eligible for a Post Study Work Visa (PSWV) with the Green List:

• PSWV applicants who qualify to teach at secondary school no longer require a Bachelor’s degree specialising in Science, Mathematics, Technology or Pacific Languages
• Applicants who have completed graduate diplomas and meet the Teaching Council’s registration requirements are now able to get a PSWV to work as a Primary or Intermediate school teacher.
• The New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (Level 6) with a strand in Mechanical Engineering has been added, so Mechanical Engineering Technicians are eligible for a PSWV.
