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

Vandana is herself a migrant and has a rare set of skill match, which could be considered ideal for a Licensed Immigration Adviser. She was a school counsellor from 1996 to 2006, a role in which she was a natural fit due to her nurturing and caring personality. Her earnest journey as a fully Licensed Immigration Adviser for New Zealand began in 2014, and she considers herself blessed to have the background and the skills that allow her, as an Immigration adviser, to effortlessly visualise herself in her client’s situation, understand their needs and problems, and use her knowledge, experience, and expertise to help find a solution for it.
She is currently on the Board of New Zealand Association of Migration and Investment (NZAMI) and was part of the Immigration Advisers Authority(IAA) referral group for 2016.
