Visa options checker live
The options checker provides better information specific to student circumstances on the range of visas that applicants may be eligible for.
The new Visa Options Check is easy to use. Users start by choosing one of four simple options: Visit, Study, Work or Live. From there, the navigation is straightforward.The new options checker is the first, small step in the rollout of Immigration New Zealand’s new technology platform, Immigration ONLINE.
When fully implemented by the end of 2015, Immigration ONLINE will allow all visa applicants to apply online. Information entered into Visa Options Check will be used to pre-populate part of a customer’s application form. Many will be able to complete the entire process online, through to final decision and receiving their visa.
Visa applicants, or advisers acting for them, will be able to complete and upload forms, supporting documents and photos, pay fees and ask questions online.
Online visa applications will start later this year with students and some temporary workers. By mid-2014, full online student visa processing will be possible through to final decision, and advisers will be able to view appropriate details of their clients’ applications online. -
Massey University promotes ‘borderless' online education
At the launch, Massey Assistant Vice-Chancellor Operations, International and University Registrar, Stuart Morriss spoke of the growing demand for online education and how Massey is well-placed to take advantage of this.
“Many universities provide online programmes to international students, but with Massey’s long history of distance and online learning, we have a strong competitive advantage.”
Massey University’s online education currently offers 45 degrees with 115 programmes. With no contact course requirements, students can complete these studies from anywhere in the world.
Massey University Worldwide General Manager Rob Stevens said this is a solid foundation, but there is room to grow.
“We already have a sizable offshore student body – some 9,000 overseas-based students use our distance programmes, and this number has been reached only through word of mouth! We now want to step things up a notch using a range of offshore promotions,” Stevens said.
Over the last few months, Massey has undertaken some preliminary online digital promotions as part of a ‘soft-launch’. In key markets, Massey’s website traffic has increased such as Malaysia (up 184%) and Singapore (up 70%).
ENZ’s Marketing and Strategic Relations Manager – Malaysia, Jane Goh attended the Singapore launch, and said Massey’s announcement reflects a wider shift in international education to go online.
“Not all international students are able to go abroad, for a variety of circumstances. Because of this, education providers are starting to ensure that students can study online, allowing them to enjoy the high-quality New Zealand education experience from anywhere in the world,” Goh said.
