Here’s an update from New Zealand about the Post Study Work visa. This work visa is issued to international students who graduate from New Zealand. The visa has been extended to 3 years for foreign nationals who have graduated from this country.

To apply for this visa you must have recently completed your studies in New Zealand. This visa lets you live and work in the country for a period of not more than three years. Nevertheless, the period allowed will depend on what the applicant studied and for how long.

The NZ PSW visa enables you to:

• Be employed with any employer in New Zealand in any occupation provided you hold a qualification of degree (level 7) or above.
• Be employed in an occupation that’s related to the field of your studies in case your qualification is a non-degree (level 7) or below; the qualification you hold also has to be on the list of qualifications that has eligibility for an NZ Post Study Work Visa.
