How about a New Zealand graduate work visa? What are the application conditions for graduate students in New Zealand?

New Zealand graduate work visa? Many New Zealand students want to work and live in this beautiful country after graduation. In order to attract more people to study and work in New Zealand, New Zealand has introduced a graduate work visa. Overseas students are eligible to apply as long as they have completed their undergraduate major for more than 2 years in a local school in New Zealand or a Grade 7 degree in 1 year.

New Zealand graduate work visa

Generally, international students who have obtained a Level 5/7 degree or above in New Zealand can get an open work visa for one year after graduation. During the useful period of 12 months, visa holders can choose any work direction and work first to make a living; However, during this period, you should try to find a job in the related field of this major, so as to get a longer employment visa.

If you find a job assignment related to your major, and the employer is willing to guarantee the applicant within the useful period of the open work visa, the Immigration Bureau will grant the applicant a two-year or even three-year work visa (not an open work visa, but it must be useful to support the applicant's employer's continuous work ability) according to different circumstances. Three-year employment visas are not common, mainly because some highly professional jobs require long work experience to gain relevant "academic experience", which is also related to the specific work needs of employers.

If a student's student visa has gained relevant work experience during the internship period before graduation, he can apply for a work visa directly at graduation (no need to open a work visa). If the applicant's employment is due to a long-term or short-term skill shortage in New Zealand, then the possibility of further obtaining New Zealand PR is very high.

New Zealand postgraduate application conditions

If domestic students want to go directly to New Zealand University for postgraduate study, they need to graduate from a regular domestic university (undergraduate degree), and the undergraduate professional background is the same as or similar to the postgraduate course to be enrolled; If the background is not similar, you can take the postgraduate certificate/diploma course in the first half or one year before entering the postgraduate course. After completing the bridge course, you can enter the postgraduate stage.
