With its mesmerizing beauty, including mountains, lakes, forests, and sparkling urban landscapes, New Zealand is often considered among the world's most diverse and beautiful countries. Due to these extraordinary splendors, a clean environment, and neighborly people, it's also a hot tourist destination. But, if we start talking about the wonders of New Zealand, this article will never end, so let's get to the topic at hand.

So, do you know in the past decade, the number of student applications to New Zealand colleges from India has increased to tens of thousands? But unfortunately, only a portion gets selected! The reason for this massive increase in the number of applications is because the education system in New Zealand has become very streamlined, and the educational standards have become extremely high. However, the key reason for low selection remains visa rejection. Thus, in this article today, we, at Storm Overseas, ranked among the best study abroad consultants in India for New Zealand, will act as a visa guide for students looking to go to New Zealand and fulfill their aspirations for an enriching and lucrative future.

On This Journey, Know Your Visas

Before progressing further, you must be clear about what a visa is. Some of you may know its purpose and concept, but you'll be surprised to hear how many don't. Anyway, let's move on. If someone from India says today, "I'll join a college tomorrow in New Zealand and start attending from the day after," let's clear the air and assure you that it doesn't work that way.

While having high aspirations (and you should) is excellent, you'll need to be realistic. You can effortlessly go to New Zealand as a student, but you'll need a student visa. In the simplest of terms, a student visa allows the holder to study in New Zealand for a specific period of time. The holder of this kind of visa can learn at a public or private educational institution and attend on-campus courses. A student may also apply for an extension on their visa if they wish to stay beyond the end date of their original visa.

The types of visas that allow students to study in New Zealand are as follows:

• COVID-19 Short-Term Visa
• Visitor Visa
• Fee Paying Student Visa
• Exchange Student Visa
• MFAT-Funded NZ Scholarship Student Visa
• Student and Trainee Work Visa
• Vocational Trainee Student Visa
• Vocational Trainee Student Visa
• Foreign Government Supported Student Visa
• Pathway Student Visa
