New Zealand Updates Post-Study Work Visa Policies

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has announced several revisions to the Post-study work visa rules.

Industry experts and education providers have accepted and agreed with the updated rules.

 

As per the updated rules, students pursuing a 30-week PGDip Post-Graduate Diploma and moving to higher education like a Master's can now be eligible for a PSWV, depending on their enrolment in the PGDip course.
