Update from Immigration New Zealand
Planning for the next student visa application peak
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) is now entering the next peak of student visa applications.
INZ say they are in a good space to process the predicted volume of student visa applications. As part of planning, they have validated their predicted numbers of applications with the sector.
"Thanks to the sector peak bodies who circulated the survey on our behalf, we received 99 responses and now have information on the numbers of offers of place already issued to potential students. This has helped us match our resources to the predicted volume for the peak,” INZ National Manager Education and Tourism Jeannie Melville says.
“The queue of student applications from earlier this year has been cleared in Mumbai. Applications are now being allocated to an Immigration Officer for assessment within ten working days.”
Getting applications in early
INZ strongly recommends potential students continue to submit their applications as early as possible – at least eight weeks ahead of a person’s intended travel date.
However, applications can be submitted up to four months ahead of intended travel.
First time visa application checklist
There is now a checklist available to help people submitting a student visa application for the first time. It provides guidance on what they need to do to ensure they are submitting a decision-ready application, which should reduce the likelihood of it missing information.

Meet Yao – classical musician and cultural bridgebuilderOur first story features Chen Xiyao, a Chinese-born guzheng player and classical musician now based in Beijing. Although he earned a degree in Business Administration, it was in New Zealand where his love of music truly flourished—thanks to the support of an inspiring high school teacher. He went on to earn a Master of Arts (with Distinction) from Wintec.
From playing in a metal band to performing with Māori musicians and even entertaining former Prime Minister John Key, Yao's journey reflects the unique opportunities and cultural exchange that a New Zealand education can offer.
Today, he teaches music for Wintec in China, continuing to share his passion and talent with others.

After graduating, Suvan opened a European café in New Delhi, aiming to bring refined technique and quality baked goods to a market he felt was underserved. Inspired by Wellington’s coffee culture, he also focused on elevating his café’s coffee offerings to New Delhi.
He plans to open two more café locations, and a fine-dining restaurant.
