Student Visas
It is always best to use a local Education Consultant to help get your Visa. A list of Agents and Consultants is available at the Education Service Centre at the New Zealand Embassy or High Commission in Tokyo, Bangkok and Hong Kong, or on the New Zealand Government Website. The consultants will do all the paperwork for you.
Obtain a Visa Without Using an Agent
- Apply to Ruawai College. Be sure you complete all sections of the form and your parents sign the “contract” section. Enclose with your application your latest school report, public examination results or forecast marks etc., a letter explaining why you wish to study in New Zealand and the University Degree you are aiming for.
- We will reply, reserving a place for you. If accepted,d an invoice for the full year’s fee will be enclosed.
- When we receive the money we will fax a copy of the receipt to the Visa Office in your country. We will mail the original to you.
- The Visa Office will issue you with a Student Visa. As you pass through Immigration on your arrival in New Zealand this will be converted to a Student Permit which will last one year from the date of your arrival.
NB. Make a careful note of the date that your Student Permit expires. If you are even one day late in applying for an extension, you may be refused permission to stay here.
