International Students Must Have a Valid Student Visa and Student Permit While Studying at The National School of Aesthetics
We must see the original student visa and permit and your passport.
Do not send us your originals in the post or by courier. We bear no responsibility for your original documents if you do this.
For more information on student visas and permits, see Immigration New Zealand’s Web site at www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/already-have-a-visa/managing-your-visa-and-passport/details-page-for-passport-sticker/visa/full-fee-paying-student-visa
Student Visas and Permits Explained
According to a previously available FAQs page on the Immigration New Zealand Web site, “A visa allows a person to travel to the New Zealand border, and a permit allows them to remain in the country. If someone has a visa, they are usually issued with a permit at the border.”
“Permits expire when a person leaves the country, and, if they wish to return, they will need either a multiple-entry visa or another single-entry visa.”
If you plan on travelling back home while studying with us, we recommend you apply for a multiple-entry student visa.
Working While Studying
According to the Immigration New Zealand Web site, international students:
- “studying full-time for at least 1 academic year”
- “your course is worth at least 120 credits”, and
- “your course is delivered over a period of at least 8 months”:
may be allowed to work full-time during “scheduled breaks in study”.
This means that international students enrolled in the following programmes may be allowed to work full-time only during scheduled breaks (term breaks) if their visa allows it:
This is indicative only, so you should speak with an Immigration New Zealand representative or visit the Immigration New Zealand Web site at Working on a Student Visa page for confirmation of your right to work while studying.
