New Zealand offers a clear pathway from student visa to permanent residency. With a 2-year post-study work visa and points-based system, it's an attractive option for Indian students.

New Zealand Student Visa Process

Students need an offer letter from a NZQA-approved institution, proof of funds (NZD 15,000 per year), and English proficiency (IELTS 6.0 or PTE 58).

Post-Study Work Visa

After completing a Level 4-6 qualification, you get 1-year post-study work visa. Level 7+ qualifications offer 2-3 years. This work experience helps in PR application.
