Enrolment
Once you’ve found the New Zealand institution and course you wish to apply for, take the following steps to enrol.
- Complete and return the relevant application form(s). This can often be done online, but you’ll still have to post or courier documents. You may need certified translations.
- The institution will send you an 'offer of place' letter confirming start dates and course details, and an invoice for the tuition fees.
- Pay the fees.
- The institution will send you a confirmed offer of place and confirmation of payment. You’ll need this for the next step.
- If you intend to study for more than 12 weeks, apply for a student visa at your nearest New Zealand Embassy, Consulate or Trade Commission. If your country has a visa-free agreement with New Zealand, you don’t need a visa and can apply for a permit after you arrive.
- Let the institution know when you are arriving so accommodation can be arranged and you can be met at the airport.
