Job Opportunities:

  • New Zealand is a land of relatively open immigration policy, which drives in a good influx of people from foreign origin. Asian students form an important group there, particularly Indians.
  • With each passing year an increasing number of students from India travel to New Zealand to pursue higher studies, drawn to a large extent by the highly regarded universities of the country. But there is another, often downplayed, reason why students are heading to New Zealand in large numbers- it is the flexibility and scope of working part time in the country while also pursuing one’s study. International students in New Zealand are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week to support their studies –the minimum wage is set at NZ $14.75. Apart from reducing their financial burden, these work opportunities in New Zealand are a great way for international students to get acclimatized to NZ’s way of life, culture and get a first-hand experience of the job market.

PR Opportunities:

  • If you wish to stay in New Zealand and work after you have finished your studies, you will need the right visa.
  • International students who have achieved a New Zealand qualification may be allowed to gain experience in work related to their studies.
  • Depending on what you study, you may be able to work in New Zealand for up to four years, and possibly even gain residence.
  • First you need to apply for a visa and have it approved. The study to work pathway has two steps
  • Post study work visa (open):This visa gives you up to 12 months to get a job in a field related to your studies. While you are looking for a job in your field you are allowed to work in any job to support yourself.
  • Post study work visa (employer assisted):This visa lets you stay in New Zealand to gain work experience for a further two years (or three years if work experience is required as part of a professional registration). This visa relates to a specific job with a specific employer.
  • After your post-study work visa (employer assisted) you may be eligible to apply for a New Zealand resident visa under the Skilled Migrant Category. If your work is in an occupation that has skill shortages, this improves your chances of being allowed to stay, either with work visas or residence. Whatever visa you apply for, you will need to pass health and character checks.
