Ways to save money by studying in New Zealand.

1. Make good use of banking services

Banks in New Zealand vary greatly in foreign exchange services. Different banks will use different exchange rates when exchanging foreign exchange, and the proportion of handling fees is also different. Therefore, when foreign students exchange cash in New Zealand, they can save a considerable amount of money by choosing a bank with better exchange rate and lower handling fee.

New Zealand's currency cannot be bought directly in RMB at home, and must be converted into US dollars first. Therefore, experts suggest that international students open US dollar accounts in New Zealand, and parents also open US dollar accounts in China. The two sides use US dollars as remittance currency, and after the foreign students receive the remittance, they will choose a reasonable time to exchange US dollars into Singapore dollars.

The bank card service provided by Bank of New Zealand for international students is relatively perfect. International students can choose to open this bank card instead of a credit card. International students do not need to pay any handling fees when using bank cards, which is convenient and practical.

Step 2 go out to work

Studying abroad, for most students, will experience a lifestyle of working while studying. First, it can alleviate certain economic pressure and take care of basic living expenses; Second, be able to get in touch with society and improve English; At the same time, developing meaningful part-time internship experience can accumulate future career resources for students with immigration plans.

Experts pointed out that compared with other English-speaking countries, New Zealand's study abroad policy is more relaxed, allowing international students to work while studying abroad. If students attend full-time degree courses or certificate courses for at least two years, they will enjoy the right to work legally for 20 hours a week, with a maximum of 40 hours a week on holidays. If a student gets an IELTS score of 5 when submitting a visa, he can work 20 hours a week even during the language course. /zd/lx
