Immigration NZ recently announced changes that will have a positive impact on genuine long-term students who plan to achieve high level university qualifications and may be looking for work and residency.

　　• Students will need to have completed a minimum of a 2-year approved academic programme prior to applying for a Work Permit 

　　• Students who complete Master’s and Doctoral qualifications will be eligible for more points towards residency while diploma programme students will receive significantly less 

　　新西兰移民局近期颁布新令，旨在为真正有意长期居留新西兰并计划修读大学文凭同时愿意在新西兰工作、居住的学生提供利好。

　　•有意申请工作签证的学生务须在新西兰完成至少2年的学业课程；

　　•在获得居留权问题上，完成硕士或博士学位的学生将比仅完成文凭课程的学生更具优势。
