| Work Part time while you study |
| International students enrolled in a full time course can work for a limited number of hours up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full-time in vacations. Please note the fact that it is difficult for students to earn enough in these periods to support themselves. Students should have sufficient funds from home to meet their requirements of tuition fee and average living expenses. |
|
| Work Permits for Partners of International Students |
| The partners of postgraduate students can apply for a work permit valid for the same period of time as their partner’s student permit. |
|
| Partners of some undergraduate students may also be eligible to apply for a work permit, if their partner has been granted a student visa or permit to study towards a qualification in an area of absolute skill shortage, as specified in the ‘Long Term Skill Shortage List’ available on the New Zealand Immigration. |
