  • We’re Always On

    Having a continual in-market presence that actively promotes New Zealand’s attributes as a study destination boosts our chances of prospective students including New Zealand in their consideration set.

    The objective of the 'Always On' activity is to drive prospective students (and parents of students) to targeted content landing pages on studyinnewzealand.com.  The goal of the landing pages is for these students to register their details to find out more about studying in New Zealand either through an Education New Zealand Recognised Agency (ENZRA) or directly with an institution.  The other objective of the activity is to deliver the New Zealand education brand proposition, ‘Think New’, in a way that will resonate with our target audience and see them consider New Zealand as a valid study option.

    We’re currently live in India, China, Malaysia and Viet Nam, and will go live very soon in Thailand and Indonesia.  For each country we’re creating ‘’home’’ pages

    (e.g. India), sector-specific pages (e.g. universities) and, coming soon, programme-specific pages (e.g. engineering).

    All pages will be in the local language.

  • Indigenous Peoples Talk Series 2023: final event

    The third and final event of the Indigenous Peoples Talk Series will be held online on 29 October 2023, at 10am in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2pm NZDT). 

    This event, jointly organised by The Tuyang Initiative, a Malaysian Social Enterprise, and Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao, is focused on Arts and Culture, specifically the expectations of authenticity in indigenous arts and culture and what this means. Taking part in the discussion are several brilliant indigenous academics, artists, and cultural practitioners from Malaysia and Aotearoa New Zealand, including Nichola Te Kiri, contemporary designer and founder of Nichola – Design from Aotearoa. 

    Information on the Tuyang Initiative was shared in a previous E-News here. You can register for this free event via this form: https://forms.gle/5f3SW5iCteZTHyC98 

  • eVisas and VisaView coming soon

    From 7 December, eVisas (passport-free applications and label-less visas) will be available for many students who apply online, joining the one thousand applicants who are applying for visas electronically every week through Immigration ONLINE.

    At the same time, New Zealand education providers will become able to use Immigration New Zealand’s VisaView service to check whether a non-New Zealand student can study with them.

    eVisas

    INZ will extend eVisas to the following online applicants:

    • People applying in New Zealand to renew their Work, Visitor and Student visas (except Chinese nationals)*

    • People from visa-waiver countries applying outside New Zealand for a Work, Visitor or Student visa (citizens of visa-waiver countries do not need a visa to travel to New Zealand as a tourist for less than three months).

    These applicants will not have to send in their passports to INZ when they submit their applications online. The visa holder will receive their visa approval notification through their Immigration ONLINE account, and may print their visa record from their account. This notification contains visa details, including travel and other visa conditions.

    Visa holders are advised to carry their visa approval notification when they travel. Online systems allow airlines to confirm that a person can travel to New Zealand, but the visa approval notification can be used as an additional confirmation if requested.

    Further information about eVisas is available at www.immigration.govt.nz/eVisas

    Visa transfer to new passports

    Because visa details are linked to passports, people who obtain a new passport after being granted their visa need to transfer their visa details to their new passport. There is potentially a greater risk with eVisas that visa holders may neglect to transfer visa details to their new passports. For explanation of how to transfer visa details, see here. 

    VisaView

    VisaView is an online visa enquiry system that is being extended to education providers from 7 December 2015. It will enable providers to check whether a non-New Zealand citizen can study with them.

    VisaView is currently used by employers to check migrants’ eligibility to work in New Zealand.

    What happens next?

    We will email education providers when VisaView is launched, with a link inviting them to register for a VisaView account. A detailed user guide will be available.

    There will be some opportunities for education providers to attend face to face training sessions in a few centres during December and early February.

    * INZ is liaising with Chinese authorities and plans to implement eVisas for Chinese nationals during 2016.

  • Teaching the world about New Zealand

    To better market New Zealand as a study destination, we’ve added hundreds of high-resolution images, videos, infographics and case studies to the New Zealand Story toolkit.  

    What is the New Zealand story?

    New Zealand Story is an initiative that brings together expertise from the private sector and Government agencies, including NZTE, Tourism New Zealand, Education New Zealand (ENZ) and more. Our purpose is to help define the things that make us unique as a country and give us a framework to share our New Zealand story with the world. Our toolkit is a big part of this. The New Zealand Story business toolkit resources are consistent with and support the resources available to you in ENZ’s Brand Lab.  

    How the toolkit can help

    When people choose to study overseas, they leave behind their friends, their family and their comfort zone. So when deciding on a place to go, they’ll want somewhere that’s not only tolerant of foreigners, but welcoming and friendly. The toolkit is packed with resources that highlight our open hearts and open minds.

    Chances are they’ll also be keen to experience a new culture and way of life. There’s nowhere quite like New Zealand for a unique cultural experience, and again, the toolkit has a huge range of images, videos and case studies that showcase our open spaces and can connect your brand with our country’s great lifestyle and rich culture.

    Lastly, it’s important to remember that they’re coming to study. New Zealand is world-class in many areas, including sports, tourism and education. Combine that with our reputation for creativity, innovation and ingenuity and we really are an ideal destination for those looking to kick start their career. Our toolkit features more than just pretty landscapes – it’s also packed with resources that highlight our expertise in these areas.  

    Craft your own New Zealand story

    Stories bring ideas to life in a way that makes them both memorable and shareable. And whether you’re a school, a tertiary institution or another education provider altogether, that’s exactly what you need to stand out from the crowd. The toolkit can help you tell your story in an engaging and compelling way.  

    Go check it out

    Register at nzstory.govt.nz for free access to all of the assets in our toolkit. You can also subscribe to the New Zealand Story newsletter to keep up-to-date with new content, research and case studies.

  • International education drives NZ$4.5 billion economic boost as sector grows with strong public support

    New Zealand’s international education sector continues its steady and balanced growth, contributing more than NZ$4.52 billion annually to the economy and enjoying enduring public support for international students. 

    According to latest Stats NZ data, education-related travel exports climbed to $4.52 billion for the year ended September 2025, up from $3.6 billion in the year ended December 2024. International education now ranks among New Zealand’s top 10 exports and now contributes 13.6% of the country’s total services exports. 

    From January to August 2025, 83,535 international students enrolled with New Zealand education providers, a 14% increase compared to the same period in 2024, and already surpassing last year’s full-year total.  

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) Chief Executive Amanda Malu said the figures confirm New Zealand’s position as a trusted and attractive destination for international learners. 

    “New Zealand is moving higher up the ladder of top choices of study destinations as students look for quality education in a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment. Our steady growth shows the sector is resilient and competitive as we move at pace to deliver on the International Education Going for Growth Plan,” Malu said. 

    “We are not chasing numbers at any cost, we are focused on sustainable, balanced growth that benefits our regions, strengthens our economy, and adds value to our communities.” 

    Quality Tertiary Institutions (QTI) Chair and New Zealand Skills and Education Group Founder, Brijesh Sethi, said he was very pleased to see international student enrolments increase for private training establishments (PTEs) in New Zealand. 

    “This growth is not only an academic success story but also an economic one.  

    “International students contribute substantially to local communities and the national economy, reinforcing the international education sector’s role as a cornerstone of New Zealand’s global engagement strategy.  

    “While there are some concerns regarding the PTE application numbers for 2025, enrolment increases are encouraging,” Sethi said. 

    Public support remains strong 

    Alongside growth in international student enrolments, ENZ’s latest 2025 Public Perceptions of International Education Survey shows 77% of New Zealanders want to see the same or more international students in the country up slightly on last year’s 75%. 

    By comparison, only just over 50% of Australians polled in 2025 support maintaining or increasing international student numbers, and at less than 50% of those in the UK polled in 2023 were in favour of students coming to research or study at UK universities.  

    Commenting on the survey, Malu said the survey shows international education is a key economic growth driver that also brings diverse perspectives through visiting students.  

    “It’s absolutely fantastic to see New Zealanders continue to back international students so strongly year after year,” Malu said.   

    Deputy Vice-Chancellor, University of Waikato, Alister Jones, said they were excited about the increasing number of international students at the university. 

    “This represents the significant work undertaken by our International and Engagement Office, both onshore and offshore.  

    “Our international students bring diversity to our Hamilton and Tauranga campuses, as well as having a positive impact on the wider communities and businesses.  

    “For the students who choose to make New Zealand their home upon completing their studies, it is a really good outcome for New Zealand society as a whole,” Jones said.  

    Beyond the economic benefits, New Zealanders also continue to appreciate the broad range of cultural and social benefits that international students bring to the country.   

    81% agree international students contribute to local communities, and 79% say they provide invaluable global connections and research links. 

    “International education is not just an economic driver, it’s a bridge to the world.  

    “New Zealanders clearly value the cultural and social benefits international students bring, and that support is vital as we look to the future,” Malu said. 

    Looking ahead 

    ENZ’s International Education Going for Growth Plan aims to double the sector’s export value to NZ$7.2 billion by 2034, while maintaining public support for international education. 

    “International education is a key contributor to the Government’s Going for Growth Plan to grow the New Zealand economy. This growth reflects the sector’s resilience and its critical role in our economic future.” 

    “Our focus is on sustainable, balanced growth, diversifying markets, strengthening vocational pathways, and ensuring students have a positive experience.  

    “We want New Zealand to remain among the top choices globally, not just for education quality but for the values we stand for,” Malu said.
