Covid-19 Protection Framework: Enrolling international PhD students
Kia ora
In collaboration with Immigration New Zealand, we have approved an extension to the exemption for enrolling
international PhD students, with no current end date. This will enable Immigration New Zealand the time required
to assess new visa applications and allow impacted learners to continue studying overseas whilst they wait for the
appropriate visa to be granted.
The one addition to the exemption, is that impacted learners must have submitted a visa application to Immigration
New Zealand to be eligible. We expect enrolling TEOs to verify the visa application.
The relevant FAQ on our website will be updated next week and will be available here.
