New border exception for some returning international tertiary students: From 2021, the Government has approved an exception class for 1,000 international tertiary students.

To be eligible, students must be – studying for a bachelor’s degree or above, hold or have held a visa to study in 2020, – have studied in New Zealand in 2019 or 2020 toward their current qualification, – be returning to study with their current provider and – need to be in country to complete study.

The living expenses that are required for international students to be granted a visa are now raised to $20,000 (from $15 ,000). Students are also required to show that they can cover isolation costs and the cost of a return ticket in addition to the $20 000.

Partners and dependents of nominated students may be included in applications, in line with current visa requirements.

The exception will allow students to return to New Zealand in stages from April 2021. Priority will be given to those close to finishing their qualifications.

AZ Google review

Everything was very transparent. We only contacted him over the phone and emails. He got the residents visa approval in the first go. It didn't get rejected or had to appeal like other lawyers said. Stewart knows exactly what he does. He doesn't panic. He a real expert. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to have their visas done peacefully at reasonable fees. Thank you Stewart and D&S Law team. You guys rock
