• Otago DBA creates new model in China

  As ENZ supported the development of the degree, ENZ’s General Manager Industry Development Clive Jones joined 18 students from China to celebrate the start of the course orientation in Dunedin last Monday. He said the DBA was off to a promising start.

  “The healthy interest in the first year of the DBA shows that New Zealand degrees can attract high-calibre international students – especially when they meet the professional needs of busy executives, and are delivered flexibly where they live and work,” said Mr Jones.

  “We hope that these business people, through the course of their degree, will develop ongoing friendships and business links between China and New Zealand.”

  A total of 22 students in the inaugural intake will study six papers in the first year, covering academic research methods, organisational leadership and psychology, corporate finance and international trade.

  The degree will be distance taught online with on-campus workshops in both countries.

• New Zealand universities connect with students and government partners in Indonesia

  The programme began with a networking session for school counsellors and visiting New Zealand providers at the New Zealand Embassy in Jakarta, where attendees had the opportunity make connections and meet New Zealand Ambassador to Indonesia, His Excellency Philip Taula.  

  The following day, a mini fair at Global Jaya International School in Tangerang gave students and parents a chance to speak directly with university representatives about undergraduate study options in New Zealand.  

  To promote New Zealand postgraduate level study, the group then delivered information sessions at key government agencies including the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture, the Indonesian Food Authority, and the Indonesian Quarantine Authority.

  These sessions, held in Jakarta and Bogor, were attended by officials and the Manaaki Scholarships team from the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and focused on postgraduate programmes and scholarship opportunities. 

  The roadshow concluded with participation in the Future Fest Expo in Jakarta and Surabaya, hosted by Mata Garuda – the alumni association of Indonesia’s government scholarship agency, LPDP.  

  Around 400 visitors visited the New Zealand booth to learn more about study and scholarship options.  

  While in Surabaya, New Zealand universities and ENZ also held a dedicated session with agent partners to share the latest updates on New Zealand’s education programmes, information resources and ENZ ‘New Zealand Taught Me’ campaign collateral to use in their promotions.  

  ENZ Market Manager Naluri Bella said the roadshow enabled New Zealand providers to engage with a broad range of stakeholders while in market.  

  “The roadshow helped connect the dots – linking student interest, agent capability, and government priorities in a way that supports long-term partnership between New Zealand providers and their partners in Indonesia,” she said.

  Two Ministers attended: Minister of Immigration, Hon Iain Lees-Galloway, spoke about the Government’s changes to post-study work rights for international students, and Education Minister, Hon Chris Hipkins announced the International Education Strategy 2018-2030. Both Ministers spoke of the Government’s confidence in the bright future of New Zealand’s international education future.

  Master of ceremonies, award-winning journalist Miriama Kamo, kept conference moving with humour and poise. She interviewed three international students on their experiences living and studying in New Zealand.

  

  Yuki Sugito from Japan came to New Zealand after being interested in the All Blacks at the 2015 World Cup. Ada Wang from Nanchang, China, who is studying a Master’s degree at Victoria University, told us about the case she took to the Tenancy Tribunal and won. Angelique Viola talked about leaving behind a business and career in her native Philippines to study accounting at WelTec. All three are enjoying their lives and studies in New Zealand – and Kiwi food featured strongly, most especially their love for fish’n’chips.

• New travel rules and levy for New Zealand

  Find out what the new International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy means for international students coming to New Zealand. 

  International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy

  On 1 July 2019, the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL) was introduced. This new levy costs NZ$35 per person and is paid when you apply for a visa or request a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA).

  How do you apply for an IVL?

  If someone is applying for a visa, including a student visa, the levy will be automatically added to the application cost. Even though the levy is for conservation and tourism, it does apply to most international students too.

  What if a person doesn’t need a visa?

  If an international student is coming to New Zealand before 1 October and is from a visa-waiver country or is not staying long enough to need a visa, they do not need to pay for an IVL.

  What’s changing on 1 October 2019?

  From 1 October 2019, New Zealand is introducing a new travel requirement that may affect international students coming to New Zealand.   

  The NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) needs to be issued before traveling to New Zealand. It can take up to 72 hours to be assessed, so anyone coming to New Zealand should request their NZeTA in plenty of time. Requests can be made via the official app or Immigration New Zealand’s website. There is a small fee. 

  • $9 for requests made through the NZeTA app
  • $12 for requests made through the Immigration NZ website.

   When a person requests an NZeTA, they will automatically be charged the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy (IVL).

   Total payment will be:

  • $44 for requests made through the NZeTA app
  • $47 for requests made through the Immigration NZ website.

  Who must hold an NZeTA before travelling to New Zealand? 

  • People visiting or in transit from a visa-waiver country — that is, a country whose passport holders do not need to get a visa before they arrive in New Zealand. 
  • People travelling on a passport from a transit visa-waiver country, and who will be in transit through Auckland International Airport’s transit lounge on the way to another country.  
  • Permanent residents of Australia. 

  Who doesn’t pay the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism levy?

  Most visitors to New Zealand pay the IVL. If a person is required to pay the IVL, the amount will be automatically added to the cost of their visa application or NZeTA request.

  You do not pay for an IVL if you travel to New Zealand on:

  • an Australian or New Zealand passport
  • a passport from many Pacific Island nations
  • you are a transit passenger arriving at and leaving from Auckland International Airport
  • you have a New Zealand resident visa
  • you hold a Business Visitor Visa or APEC business travel card.

  What does this mean for international students? 

  People who are planning to come to New Zealand to complete a short course, such as an English language course, will need to request an NZeTA before they travel if they are coming from a visa-waiver country. They will pay the IVL when requesting the NZeTA.

  International students who need a visa to study will not need to get an NZeTA, but they will pay the additional NZD$35 for an IVL when they apply for a visa.

  What about current international students?

  International students who have already applied for and have a valid visa will not have to pay the IVL until they renew their visas.

  How long is the IVL and NZeTA valid for?

  The NZeTA is valid for two years. The IVL is charged every time a person requests a new visa or NZetA.
