What should I do if my visa for studying in New Zealand expires?

Visa is an obstacle for students to complete before they apply and arrive in New Zealand. Because visas are time-limited, and every country will not require the same. So what I want to share now is, what if the visa expires?

Why does the visa expire?

1, forget the expiration time

In fact, not only New Zealand, but also other countries' visas are time-sensitive, so students who want to study abroad often apply for various visas with appropriate duration according to their own purposes. However, no matter how long the visa is valid, you must apply for the next visa 30 days in advance. When the Immigration Bureau issues visas to students, it will emphasize this point many times in the mail.

2. Submit a new application when it is due.

If so, it actually proves that they still remember when their visas expired, but they just didn't submit their applications in advance. Some students even apply on the deadline.

However, because these students applied too late, they didn't leave enough time for themselves to submit their visas, and their materials were often not perfect. After all, some materials are time-sensitive. If it is overdue, they must reapply. Then their application may not pass, but it will be returned directly by the immigration department. If your visa has expired when you return it, then your visa has expired.

4. It happened in investment immigrants.

Most of them are business immigrants. When they apply, the visa officer may send them an invitation after the preliminary hearing. In fact, the visa officer still agrees with their application, but only needs them to submit all the materials within a certain period of time, so that the application can be completed.

Generally, these applicants will actively prepare all the materials and strive for faster submission. However, some people are slow to respond. They always feel that there is plenty of time and there is no need to prepare materials in a hurry. As a result, a few days before the deadline, they found that these materials were actually very complicated to prepare and needed more time. At this time, they are in a hurry to prepare.

However, when your visa expires, you can still renew it. How do I renew my visa in New Zealand?

1. The final submission must be complete. These materials will be listed in everyone's form, and if their materials are not perfect, they may be returned;

It is best to pay the visa fee by cheque or credit card, and don't mail the cash folder. If you pay by cheque, you usually have to wait 10 days for the immigration office to clear these cheques.
