Have fun in NZ - It's a beautiful country. Hi again Hari,
So have you already been accepted into the UNI and have you already applied for your student visa? If you are coming in on a student visa, there are some restrictions on how much you can work and what kind of work you can or cannot do.
Your best bet is to check out the NZ Immigration website, I think you will find all the information you need there. I've put the link below. Here's a bit of info from the site~
"Working while studying"
You can work part time while studying full time, under certain circumstances:
* to meet course requirements for practical work experience, or
* during the Christmas and New Year holiday period if you are in a full-time course of study lasting 12 months or longer, and/or
* for up to 20 hours in any given week during the academic year if you are in full-time study:
~in a full-time study course lasting at least six months, at a private training establishment or tertiary institution.
~at a tertiary level of at least one academic year duration as part of an approved tertiary student exchange scheme.
Here's something else you need to read~
"Partners and children of students"
If your partner or children want to come to New Zealand with you, they will need to apply for a visitor visa,
or if they will also be studying, their own student visa.
Also:
"Who cannot get a student visa/permit"
Most people can be considered for a visa or permit to study in New Zealand.
However, to protect the interests of New Zealanders we do not issue visas to people who don't meet certain requirements, or who are involved in certain activities.
If an immigration of visa officer believes you have not made a genuine application for a visa or permit, or that you do not intend to meet the conditions of the visa or permit, we will not issue it to you.
You can be refused a visa or permit if:
* you are not eligible for a visa or permit under section 7(1) of the Immigration Act 1987,
* you are in New Zealand unlawfully when you apply,
* you do not meet our health or character requirements, or
* we believe you are likely to stay in New Zealand unlawfully or you would break the conditions of your visa or permit.
Here are the kickers....
"Why we would revoke a student permit"
If you fail to meet our conditions of studying in New Zealand we may revoke your student permit. We will do this if:
* you do not attend your course
* you work outside our restrictions
* you stop attending the course for which you were granted the permit and enrol in one we have not approved. You may be able to change courses or providers once you are here but you must first contact us so that we can either change your permit conditions or consider your application for a new student permit.
Once your permit is revoked you will no longer be lawfully in New Zealand and will have to leave.
Hope this is of help. Good luck sorting things out. can you activate your email through yahoo answers..it just makes it easier to help you..at the moment it is inactive |
