  • Allocation priorities for student visa applications

    Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has changed the way they allocate international student visa applications from students in New Zealand, so they have more flexibility and can process these applications more efficiently during the summer processing peak.  

    INZ’s allocation priorities change from time to time to reflect current demands and will be posted on their website. You can view these allocation priorities here.  

    Tuition fee receipt reminder 

    When a student is in New Zealand (onshore) and submits an application for a student visa, it is a requirement to provide a tuition fee receipt with the application at the time of submission. 

    The approval in principle process is not available for students who are in New Zealand. Any onshore application should include evidence a student: 

    - has paid their tuition fees in full for one year or one programme (whichever is shorter); or 

    - that they are exempt from paying tuition fees and their education provider has confirmed this. 

    If the receipt is not provided with the application, then it has an impact on the processing and the application takes longer to be processed. For more information, you can find INZ's Student visa application information sheet for continuing international students here. 

    International education data  

    Every year, INZ publish data on the offshore student visa approval rates and application volumes for education agents by market. They also publish the overseas student visa application decision data broken down by country. 

    Updated data for 2024 has now been published: View this data here

  • New Zealand institutions strengthen ties with Latin American education agencies

    In April, ENZ supported the Study in New Zealand Agent Seminars – an event series organised by Kiwi EdLink, a New Zealand-based organisation that represents education providers across the country.

    New Zealand’s educations offerings for Latin American students were showcased to education agents at the seminars. From English language programmes for children, youth, and adults to short or long-term school studies in New Zealand. 

    The participating institutions from New Zealand were the Kiwi English Academy, Glendowie College and Onslow College. 

    ENZ teams in Santiago and São Paulo hosted networking events at the New Zealand Embassy in Chile and the Consulate in Brazil, inviting selected agents aligned with Kiwi EdLink’s strategic goals in the region.  

    In addition to facilitating these connections, the ENZ team also provided market insights and engaged in conversations about future steps to deepen engagement and opportunities in Latin America’s dynamic education landscape.

    Attendees of the Study in New Zealand seminar in Santiago, Chile. This event was hosted at the New Zealand Embassy.

    During the event in São Paulo, Director of Kiwi English Academy, Kathryn Herbert, said “This is a moment to reconnect with our Latin American partners so we can better understand how to offer relevant programs to Brazilian students.”  

    The feedback from sector attendees was positive. Director of International Students at Onslow College, Robynne Bloemstein, said that the institution is very excited to reengage with the Latin American market and welcome students from the region into its student body, which already includes 45 international students. 

    It was the first visit to Brazil for the Director of International Students at Glendowie College, Rebecca Johnstone. She said “We love Latin American students—we currently have 47 international students in total, including two Chilean students and a new Brazilian student starting in July. They all contribute greatly to the multicultural environment of our school.” 

    Check out the video report the ENZ team put together with the representatives of New Zealand schools at the São Paulo event. 

     

  • Update from Immigration New Zealand

    Visa processing update

    • From 01 January to 31 March 2025, student visas have been processed in 12 days (two and a half weeks) on average, compared to 24 days (five weeks) for the same period in 2024.

    • Currently, international student visas are being decided in 10 days (two weeks) on average. 

    • The tertiary sector’s mid-year intake is almost upon us, and students need to apply for their visas now.

    • Latest visa processing times can be found on the INZ website: Student visa wait times | Immigration New Zealand.

    Reminders from Immigration New Zealand

    The conditions of a student visa state that the visa holder must attend the programme of study at all times, at the place of study endorsed on the visa (unless there are genuine reasons for absences), and that they must make satisfactory progress in the programme of study.

    Immigration New Zealand (INZ) receive a number of applications from students in New Zealand, who have poor attendance and/or progress, without any explanation of why.

    If students do have poor attendance or progress, it is recommended that an explanation for this is provided up front with the application to avoid the need for INZ to request further information. This will prevent any delays in processing.

    If you are refunding an international student’s fees, then the ToE form should be filled out, regardless of whether or not the student’s visa has been sighted by the provider.

    Are you interested in making connections or forming partnerships with education publishers, game developers, ICT companies and educationalists?

    Do you want to showcase your edtech tool and learn about how and why teachers and their students are using technology in the classroom?

    If the answer is yes, then register now for the Education Technology Summit on 5-6 July at Massey University’s innovation hub in Albany, Auckland. 

    For those of you from edtech companies outside of Auckland we have 20 heavily discounted tickets to give away. The money you save will get you to Auckland!

    Just tell us how much you think educational exports ($ million) contribute to GDP by 31 May.  The closest answers will get you a ticket to the two day summit for just $100 – a prize valued at $295. Send your answer to adele.bryant@enz.govt.nz.

    Following feedback from previous annual Edtech for Export (et4e) conferences, this year ENZ is supporting the New Zealand Technology Industry Association in bringing educators and edtech businesses together at the same event.

    This year’s more collaborative approach – bringing creators and users together – will provide a platform for the growth and development of sustainable and relevant edtech tools for the domestic and export markets.

    The Education Technology Summit programme offers separate Edtech for Export and Tech and Pedagogy streams, and plenty of opportunity for interaction between the two. 

    The programme includes export capability building sessions as well as the chance to hear from local and international speakers on global edtech trends and tips for exporting.

    Presenters include:

    • Betsy Corcoran, CEO of EdSurge, an award-winning US news and information source on edtech, will speak on “Mind sets and the future of educational technology”. 

    • Dan Milward of Gamefroot, a provider of online game creation software that teaches programming code in a fun and interactive way

    • Graeme Cosslett, CEO of the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER)    

    And, if you’re still wondering whether or not to make the Summit a ‘must attend’ event in your calendar, here’s a success story that had its beginnings in the et4e conference in 2013: 

    Gamefroot and NZCER are a great example of the power of deep collaboration between educational researchers and game makers.  Gamefroot’s Dan Milward and Rachel Bolstad of NZCER worked in the same Wellington building but did not realise they shared a common interest in educational games until they met at et4e 2013.  Since then, they have worked together to develop and launch a unique online game for teachers and policy makers called Curriculum for the Future: the Digital Game. 

    If you have any queries about the Education Technology Summit, contact Business Development Manager, Adele Bryant at adele.bryant@enz.govt.nz.

    Otherwise, see you in Auckland in July!   

  • EdTech World Tour in New Zealand

    The Franco-German researchers have been assessing global edtech trends and ecosystems which support edtech adoption and innovation, and will present their findings to the EdTechXEurope conference in June.

    While the US dominates the edtech sector Svenia and Audrey were curious to find out and report on what is happening in other parts of the world.  Their Edtech World Tour started in France in October 2015 and included the United States, Chile, Australia, Korea, India and South Africa. 

    Education New Zealand Business Development Manager, Adele Bryant, hosted Svenia and Audrey’s visit to New Zealand from 7-14 December 2015 between the Chilean and Australian leg of the tour.  During their time here, they visited education institutions, edtech companies and government agencies in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin, recording what they saw and heard on their social media platforms.

    From an inspiring Point England School in Auckland, to a Wellington edtech community meetup, and on to Dunedin’s ADInstruments and its high quality life sciences educational products, Audrey and Svenia were welcomed and impressed by New Zealand’s approach to using and developing edtech.

    Audrey and Svenia made the following observations from their time in New Zealand: “New Zealand has been of great inspiration to us as we feel the country has understood the way Edtech has to be implemented.  No need to roll out devices and new edtech tools if neither the infrastructure nor the teacher training is there. 

    “The combination of the government’s efforts – together with Network for Learning – to bring high speed internet connection to all New Zealand schools and the work of MindLab in training New Zealand teachers in new technology has a huge potential to make New Zealand the next model for successful edtech use in schools.”

    At each call they asked the same question “What does edtech mean to you?”  The resulting videos have been uploaded to their website, providing insights into the different perspectives of teachers and developers.  View a compilation of the New Zealand videos here and go to the tour’s Twitter feed to see more about the whole tour.

    In the New Zealand newsletter they compiled after their visit, Svenia and Audrey noted that “New Zealand’s high quality and innovative education system has proven a perfect ecosystem for Edtech when combined with its entrepreneurial and creative culture”.  You can read about their time in New Zealand visit here.
