This visa allows you to work in New Zealand after completing your studies. You can apply for a Post-study Work Visa to work in New Zealand for up to 3 years if you have an acceptable qualification gained in New Zealand. A Post-study Work Visa may be granted for 1, 2 or 3 years depending on the level of your qualification, and lets you work for any employer located within New Zealand, and in almost any job.
Your partner can also apply for a Work Visa, and if you have dependent children, they can study fee-free as domestic students.
If you plan to live in New Zealand permanently the Post-study Work Visa provides you with an opportunity to obtain a skilled job, and get on a clear pathway for acquiring resident status.
You can only apply for this visa once, unless you complete a second higher qualification at bachelor’s degree level or higher, with its study duration being of 30 weeks or more.
If an international student has completed their studies, they can choose to stay back and work in New Zealand for up to three years with a Post-Study Work Visa New Zealand.
However, to be qualified for the Post Study Work Visa NZ, one needs to meet basic criteria. Also, the duration of the visa depends on a few factors.
As per the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQA), students must have Level 4 or higher qualification. Level 4, 5, and 6 qualification is acceptable if students have completed it after 60 weeks and more, or have 2 qualifications with each involving 30 weeks’ study and the level of last qualification is higher than the first one. Level 7 qualification is acceptable if the course lasted for more than 30 weeks. The level of qualification will also determine the validity of the visa.
With the Post Study Work Visa New Zealand, international students can work in almost any job at any employer in New Zealand. To that, their partner can apply for a Work Visa as well. And if they have a dependent child, the child can study fee-free as a domestic student.
