Can a New Zealand tourist visa be changed to a student visa?

Can a New Zealand tourist visa be changed into a student visa? This problem is really urgent for many friends who want to travel and study in New Zealand. After all, a series of procedures for foreign visas are very complicated. Let's share with you how to change a tourist visa to a student visa in New Zealand.

Can a New Zealand tourist visa be changed into a student visa?

Transferable

If an applicant with a New Zealand tourist visa submits an application in China, but the tourist visa has expired but the student visa has not yet come down, New Zealand will automatically give the applicant a bridge visa valid for 6 months, and it will be approved in about 4 weeks. After the student visa comes down, the bridge visa will automatically expire.

1. Apply for a New Zealand school and fill in the application form. For international students, there is usually an entrance interview, mainly about the applicant's understanding of the major and his plans after completing his studies.

Receive the admission notice from the New Zealand school and pay the tuition fee.

Third, apply for a student visa to New Zealand.

The application materials include:

1, original passport

2. Visa application fee (remittance)

3. Student Application Form (INZ 10 12)

4. passport photo.

5. Notarization of academic qualifications

6. Original and photocopy of IELTS test report.

8, the school's application for admission (not an application for admission, only the text behind)

9. Relevant materials of the school (tuition receipt and insurance receipt)

10, proof of accommodation

1 1, physical examination report

12, proof of living expenses

How to change a New Zealand tourist visa into a student visa;

1. New Zealand tourist visa can be changed to student visa.

2. When applying for a student visa, emphasize several noteworthy places:

1) When you decide to transfer to a student visa, you must reflect the first purpose of entry, which is in line with the original reason for applying for this visa, otherwise the Immigration Bureau will doubt the original intention of entry. As early as 2009, it became a common phenomenon that many candidates entrusted an intermediary to handle the transfer as soon as they landed. Later, the Immigration Bureau informed the intermediary that it was not allowed to apply for visa change within three months after entry, and returned these application materials for later submission. The applicant would apply for visa change 90 days after arrival in New Zealand.

2) Choose a school, and try to choose a national university or a national institute of technology. Many private schools in New Zealand are run by Chinese, which are less than 10 years old, while national universities or national institutes of technology are usually established for more than 30 years, so the teaching quality is guaranteed, there is no possibility of bankruptcy, and the social recognition of academic qualifications is relatively high.

3) Be sure to provide authentic and effective materials, and avoid making fakes. In the process of application, the Immigration Bureau is very careful, and every small question will be verified repeatedly.

When it comes to visa conversion, it is estimated that some friends who have just learned about studying in New Zealand are still questioning, isn't this illegal? Is this feasible? The fact is that this scheme has been proved by a large number of mature successful cases, so I can tell you for sure that students can sign tourist visas to New Zealand. Of course, there are many details that need to be carefully considered according to everyone's situation.

First of all, to complete this plan, a prerequisite is to successfully apply for a tourist visa to New Zealand in China, and applicants are also needed to apply for a tourist visa. Generally speaking, it is easier to apply for a tourist visa to New Zealand if you have a stable job and income in China. I won't say much about tourist visas here. You can consult domestic travel agencies or corresponding institutions. They have a lot of experience in handling them. Friends who come to New Zealand with tourist visas, because tourist visas in New Zealand are usually two-year multiple-entry visas, the longest stay time is 1 month, and then they need to leave the country again before they are allowed to stay again 1 month. In this short month, friends who want to transfer schools need to submit student visas, otherwise they need to leave the country or return to China.

Personally, I have recently applied for a lot of such visas. Generally speaking, I am about 30 years old or 30-40 years old in China. Most people choose this way to study in New Zealand. Here I want to emphasize two key issues of this plan. First, the funds are in place. To apply for a student visa, it is generally necessary to apply for a local bank card in New Zealand within this month and remit the corresponding guarantee amount. Secondly, the choice of schools. When my friends came to the local area, they found that the schools here were dazzling and sold in the hands of various intermediaries like commodities (which I described as somewhat demeaning my career). There are good schools, and of course there are many shoddy schools, but of course different schools have different consumer groups, so it varies from person to person. Many customers will face a problem when they come to New Zealand, that is, they don't know which school to choose. In fact, most tourists will choose to study language courses here for a period of time and make a transition, so the initial choice is more inclined to choose a suitable language school. These two problems seem simple, but in the actual operation of customers, they often encounter such problems, which complicate many things and delay the timely submission of applications.

On the time of visa submission, many friends will ask, what if I submit my student visa before the travel signing date and I can't get a new visa before the expiration date? Don't worry about this problem, because in order to solve this problem, Immigration New Zealand will issue a transitional visa before your tourist visa expires. The purpose of this visa is to give the Immigration Bureau time to hear your case, and also to allow you to stay legally during this period and wait for the result.

Therefore, if you want to study in New Zealand in this way, or pave the way for future immigration, you can use this eleventh to get a good understanding.
