  Student visas

  
  Important: Students who are part of an approved exchange scheme must apply for a student visa before their arrival in New Zealand. This includes students who are from visa-waiver countries. Exchange students can come to New Zealand as visitors and apply for an exchange student visa within New Zealand, but this is only if they can provide an exceptional circumstance as to why they could not obtain one before they arrived. Study abroad is not considered as a recognised approved exchange scheme, therefore they can be submitted through Students online.
