Working Part Time
It is possible to work part time while studying, but this requires a change in your visa and excellent time management skills.
A standard student visa does NOT give you the right to work in New Zealand and states very clearly "The holder shall not undertake work in NZ".
If a student wishes to work part time, they must apply to Immigration New Zealand for a Variation of Conditions. This change of conditions will also come with extra costs as part of the application.
You must also gain the permission of the Principal to work. This will only be granted to students aged over 17 years old, who have made strong academic progress and have a good behavior record. The International Department can help you with this process, so talk to us first.
