Introduction: What work visa can I apply for studying in New Zealand?

One-year open work visa needs attention. You can only apply twice in New Zealand. The New Zealand Immigration Bureau stipulates that the same person must complete a higher education than the original and not less than the undergraduate degree when applying for the second time, and the study time should not be less than 30 weeks.

This means that if students come to New Zealand to study for the first time and take PGD courses, then if you haven't found a full-time job after the first open work sign-in period, you must take a master's course to get the second open work sign-in opportunity. In other words, if you just come to study for a master's degree and then fail to find a job, then you must go directly to the doctoral program in New Zealand to stay.

This is also the reason why Zhongyu study abroad suggests that students studying in New Zealand take GD and the following courses first. Because in New Zealand, I often want to find a job that is professional and beneficial to immigrants. Nearly 1 year may not be enough. After all, as an outsider, you need time to get to know a country or let it know yourself.

In addition, there is a time limit for applying for an open work permit after study. It is required to apply within 3 months after the student visa expires. If it is a doctoral program, it can be extended to 6 months.

Another is to study in New Zealand. Not all study abroad programs can apply for an open work visa after studying abroad.

The requirements of Immigration New Zealand for 1 year open work visa are as follows:

Grade 7 (undergraduate) or above, you can only apply after studying in New Zealand for at least 30 weeks.

This is why New Zealand's one-year GD course and one-year PGD course have become the most popular immigration programs, and why New Zealand has a GD program with a compressed holiday, with a minimum of eight and a half months (33 weeks). Because if it's shorter, you won't get an open work permit after studying.

Then, can't students in courses below Grade 7 apply for a New Zealand 1 year work visa?

If you want to go to New Zealand to study for a degree below Grade 7, you need to study in New Zealand for 60 weeks, from Grade 4 technical secondary school to Grade 6 junior college, which usually takes 2 years, and then you can get an open work permit. Coupled with the adjustment of the new immigration policy, China students will study in New Zealand's junior college courses for a long time, and they need two years' local work experience to apply for skilled immigrants. For some older applicants who are eager to emigrate, the battle line is too long and uneconomical.

2. After studying, the employer will guarantee the work sign.

This is what we often call the employer-sponsored work sign. In fact, literally, it seems more appropriate to call this employer-sponsored work sign an employer-supported work sign.

This employer-sponsored work visa is valid for 24 months. If you need to apply for a New Zealand license, and you need 3 years of work experience to apply for this license, then this visa can be extended to 3 years. However, if you want to get the sponsorship of the employer, there is a core condition, that is, your job position should be consistent with your major.

However, according to the observation of overseas students, the biggest advantage of employer-sponsored work visa is that employers can directly recruit a foreigner who has just graduated and holds an open work visa after studying, and can sign labor contracts with foreigners without going through complicated local recruitment examinations or waiting until they can't recruit locals. After the probation period, if you want to stay for a long time, then apply for a two-year work visa guaranteed by your employer, which will not affect the normal work of the employees.
