Planning your study
Tuition is only one part of the cost of international study. You should also plan for your visa, insurance, accommodation, travel and everyday living expenses.
You must hold a visa that permits your planned study in New Zealand. For study lasting longer than three months, this will normally be a student visa.
Immigration New Zealand strongly encourages international students to apply around three months before their intended travel date.
View student visa informationInternational students must hold appropriate and current medical and travel insurance that is acceptable to BTI and meets New Zealand requirements.
Required cover normally applies from the period of enrolment until the expiry of the student visa.
Medical and travel insurance informationTertiary students applying for a student visa must currently show that they have at least NZ$20,000 for each year of study, or NZ$1,667 for each month if studying for less than one year.
You must also show that you have a paid outward ticket or enough additional money to leave New Zealand.
View student fund requirementsDepending on your programme and visa conditions, you may be allowed to work for up to 25 hours a week while studying and full-time during eligible scheduled holidays.
Check the conditions recorded on your eVisa or visa letter. Students studying only towards a micro-credential do not qualify for student visa work rights on that basis.
Check student work rightsRefund eligibility depends on when formal withdrawal occurs and the conditions set out in BTI’s Refund of Student Fees policy.
BTI must notify Immigration New Zealand if an international student withdraws or their enrolment is terminated.
