Please I am confused about the new law...Is a one year masters degree entitled to the post graduate work permit?

Rapture07:
Silver fern is still an option. Once u get d 9months visa it can be extended to two years once u get a job

Rapture07:
Have gone tru the whole page and it's sad to see that we Nigerians are already giving up on NZ PR.
Let me see if this helps. How may of us have considered going tru silver fern as a pathway to obtaining NZ PR? I did some research and i found out that Indians use this route a lot.
And yes 160 point is very obtainable. With an msc, 8yrs work experience, one can easily make 160 points. Let's make use of these alternatives abeg. As for silver fern am giving it a try once it opens, i encourage us to use that medium also.

@Concept. Pls, I'd like you to please attend to this.
I'm in talks with someone who's gonna help with my NZ visa application. I'm positive on this ayways as I'm hoping to to mke the journey in May, but I just want to ask a question that bothers. From your own experience, having been able to travel to NZ, Please, is it compulsory that one with NZ e-visa apply for transit visas before embarking on the journey since its obvious there's no direct flight there. My reason is that i've considered transit visas applications a huddle a few times when i try my hands on some long distance travel plans. While some would say it is not necessary since i'm not entering the transit country (only stopping over to change flights), some would say, I won't even be allowed to board any aircraft without a transit V on my passport. 
It this true or its mere rumour. Kindly put me through on how to route my flight such that no case/challenge of transit visa would arise.
I need you to pls clarify/advice me on how to go about this. Thanks

NB: Departure is Lagos
    Destination is Auckland, NZ

Hello everyone!

Pls what type of medical is required for potential phd students? Is the medical to be done before the visa application?

You will need a full medical examination before lodging your visa application online. Refer to INZ1121 form for full information. I think Fatayi Wiliam is responsible.

Secondly, if a phd student gets a permanent job offer from an employer during the course of his studies how would he handle that?

PhD study visa comes with unlimited work right for any employer at the moment. Using the employment for another purpose is a different ball game. Also, how to combine studying and working full time is something to think about

jelmusboy:
Do I need to tell INZ how I will fund my second and third year tuition fee in my motivation letter, since I am showing only funds for first year?

worry about the first year for now!

Does anyone have a sample letter of motivation?

jelmusboy:
For Nigeria PCC, they will just write that the person is travelling to so so so country. That's all, no purpose of travel. They wrote Canada on the one I have but no purpose. So, wondering if I can use it for NZ

jelmusboy:
I really appreciate this sir. If I may ask again, can I use police report I collected for Canada to be used for New Zealand. The police report is not up to a month now

jelmusboy:
Good work here to everyone.

I got admitted into the PhD in Preventive and Social Medicine program at University of Otago last year. However, I deferred my admission to September 2018 because I got a fixed term job in the UK which will end in July 2018 and also to raise some money because I was refused the doctoral scholarship I applied for.

congratulations on securing admission.

I intend to apply for visa in June before I leave the UK in July for me, my wife and baby and I should have the required fund for everyone. My question goes thus:

Apply using the online platform for yourself only, then when your visa is out,apply for family because those are paper based application. Remember NZD4200 for your wife and NZD4800 for each child. Be ready to provide enough evidence of relationship

1. My plan is to get the NZ visa before I leave the UK for Nigeria cos my resumption is in September. Is it advisable to apply for the visa in the UK since I won't be employed after the end of my UK contract and I don't have a job in Nigeria either?

Apply for the visas NOW. These days,many applicants are not getting the visa processed on time and as a result they have to defer their admission and resumption

2. For how many months do I have to have the POF in my account?

You need to show a six month bank statement showing the required amount. if there is a lump sum above the equivalence of NZD1000,you need to explain the source. Yes,lump sum in the account is allowed if you can provide genuine source and documentary evidence of the fund(gift from dad/mum to support your academic dream, pension payout, etc

3. What evidence can I use to show that I will leave NZ after completion of my studies considering the fact that I want to go with my wife and baby and no job in Nigeria?

a good letter of motivation describing your goals and future plans in concrete terms among many others

4. Since I will be self-funded, will 1 year tuition and maintenance fees suffice? I plan working in NZ because my profession is in demand in NZ

what you need after paying your first year tuition(without payment,the school might not issue you enrollment letter required for visa application) is a minimum of NZD16000(15000 for maintenance and a minimum of 1000 for outward travel). Be aware that you will need to be renewing your visa yearly. You can also use a sponsor if you do not have the whole funds but be aware that you have to be using the SAME person every year as your sponsor thereafter for visa renewal. Have you researched job opportunities in the town you are going- do not just assume based on your qualification and experience. The labour market in a supposedly student town is dynamic ? I assume it is Dunedin.

5. Is June 2018 a good time to apply for the visa because I am resuming in September 2018 (three months interval)?

Please apply now...The processing period could be long

6. Any other advice will be appreciated.

APPLY NOW and try as much as possible to convince INZ you are a bonafide student

tobiasbeecher:
You people should just know that you are required to leave NZ 14 days after you finish your programme. You're not required to apply to NZ or any other country until after staying two years in your country. Please, before you apply for a scholarship try and read the terms before applying. Don't be taken away by the prospect of going to NZ.

murphy02:

@cconcept Please I need the list of the cheapest universities. colleges or pathway programs in NewZealand I received offer from ACG and Taylor's college those guys are fucking too and you must pay all at once expensive.

Nsiehi:
Kudos Oga Cconcept for the great and selfless job you are doing here. Please I want to make inquiries about Invercargill. I want apply for an undergraduate course (Bsc civil engineering) at the Southern institute of technology, invercargill due to their low tuition fees over there. I have been researching about jobs and cost of living in that region but the information I have gotten so far is quite scanty. Please can you give more information about this region with regards to jobs, cost of living and life in general. Thanks a lot and keep up the good job.

Hello house, I have my unconditional offer from University of Auckland for my PhD study and I have also paid the tuition fee as stated in my admission letter. I have the stipulated amount for one year required fund according to Immigration New Zealand, plus extra fund for on-board flight fund.
Please my question is, is it necessary to use my parents as sponsors for the second and third year of my study, since my study is three years or the $15,000 NZD in my account is sufficient to show immigration New Zealand for my student visa?
Thanks so much for your advice in advance.
Best regards.

Collineno:

Please do you know any Nigerian studying at AUT? I need to ask some questions regarding the accommodation there.
Thanks

omoyasobur:
alright sir, this is the situation.......i am a partner to a new zealand aid student. And its part of the scholarship benefit i can go to new zealand with the scholar and ill be granted work visa provided i meet immigration requirement. I want to know what prove i can submit to show im bona fide. I have a property, family bond also but i hv no job. Will they reqire me to have a job before they can grant me the visa? Or will the family bond and property be enough to prove bona fide? Thanks

omoyasobur:

Delvindy:


Wow! This is helpful.
But I have submitted my visa application already.
For onward travel, I just attached the scholarship letter.
Even though I am working, my parents will be sponsoring my flight ticket.
I am about opening a dom account today though, maybe I'll move cash there and keep incase they require stronger evidence. I hope it is not too late.
I am so anxious about this visa thing, I pray the process will be smooth.

KaysDelight:
While starting my visa application, I was presented with two options, to either be able to use the online application wherein I would only be able to apply for myself or do a paper application for my husband and I. The issue is, he does not intend to join me permanently as he has a steady job in Nigeria which he is not eager to leave but is happy to travel with me to ease my travel stress and visit from time to time.

My question is, what option is better to choose? Is it better for him to apply for a visitor's visa?

Further, please is there anyone schooling in University of Waikato or have first-hand information that can help with the question below?
.
What airport in New Zealand would be best or closest to Hamilton (That's where the University is)

Is it OK to rent an apartment from easyroommate.co.nz?

Can anyone provide me with other rental sites?

Many Thanks

Dear all,

I intend to commence my Study Visa application soon. However, I discovered that I am required to show evidence of a Return Ticket or that I can purchase ticket to leave New Zealand (Onward Travel). Since it is impossible to purchase a return ticket now against the next three or four years when I will be done with my course, can the evidence of UC Doctoral Scholarship which includes monthly stipends satisfy this requirement? Alternatively, If you habe recently applied for a study visa to NZ, kindly tell how you fulfilled this condition. Thank you.

Lawprince:


Thank you very much! Regarding the accommodation and cost of living in Christchurch. What would you advice, and how much do you think one will averagely need monthly.

Regards.

omoyasobur:
hello house, l just want to know from those on nz scholarship that is there any implication if my arrival to university of canterbury is slightly delayed due to delay in visa processing. orientation programe starts jan 29th, 2018. will my scholarship be withdrawn if i dont resume on or b4 this date?.....Thanks

Lawprince:


Sir, I just got admitted for PhD in UC and was also offered the UC Doctoral Scholarship with monthly stipends. I'm supposed to resume by March 2018, but I wish to communicate someone who has a better experience before commencing my Visa application. Is there a possibility that we can discuss privately? Thank you.
