Pathway Student Visa

The Pathway Student Visa is tailored for students intending to complete multiple consecutive courses (up to three) over a span of up to five years. This visa is designed to streamline the application process by allowing students to cover their entire educational path with a single visa application. It offers students flexibility in transitioning between courses and institutions without needing to reapply for a new visa each time. In some cases, students may be eligible to work part-time during their studies, provided their course meets the work rights criteria set by Immigration New Zealand.
