I've been in search of a full PhD scholarship myself in Oceania, preferably in New Zealand. Can you please give me an insight as to how you got this one.

You can apply at anytime. I wrote to some professors but none replied. I contacted the postgraduate school and was informed that I do not necessarily need to have a supervisor before applying. They said I should apply and a potential supervisor would contact me based on my research intent.

So I put in my application and after 2 weeks a potential supervisor wrote to me. We had a Skype interview. Then the waiting continued till January this year when they offered me admission.

You need to upload the following when applying;
-IELTS, overall band of 6.5 with no band less than 6.0
-Your Msc thesis
-Research intent (download the template from the University website)
-Add any research paper you have.
-Two recommendation letters from your referees
-Bachelor's degree certificate and transcripts
-Master's degree certificate and transcripts
-Identity card (International passport or birth certificate )

There is no separate application for scholarship. On the online form you will be ask if you would like to be considered for the scholarship, so select yes.

Good day all.

Respect to FEMI & SOLIN

PLEASE I want to pour out my own case. I am a B. Sc graduate of Biomedical technology. My wife is a Registered Midwife and just graduated too as a nurse last Dec here.
Now I have been chatting with Christine from the midwifery council of new Zealand and she said I have to follow the process of registering as a midwife in new Zealand. An initial payment of $250NZD to b paid and then if they consider her transcript okay(she did 3yrs midwifery training) with NZ she will be told to continue her application with a full payment of $750NZD. Below is the general information for international Midwife

https://www.midwiferycouncil.health.nz/midwives/becoming-registered-practise/general-information-internationally-qualified-midwives

and below is the guidelines

https://www.midwiferycouncil.health.nz/midwives/becoming-registered-practise/internationally-qualified-midwives-application-guidelines


Now please I want to know since if the council grant her to continue her application if getting a job will be easy since this will make her licence to practice as a midwife in NZ.

Again agencies told me they can only assist to sponsor us( she and 2persons- this is according to what someone said in a thread) only if the council approve her application. please guide and advice us since I am about to begin the application.

can I also be able to do a short course to perfect my skills if we are granted work permit? (my head don cold for book and since I graduate I no practice)

there are series of forms to sign and send by either a notary public, solicitor or a justice of the peace. who are they in Nigeria context. I de suspect lawyer ooo.


I need help o since I need to port out of this country o.

Hi,

Kindly proceed with the application procedure. It's a good step in the right direction. This is a sure path way to enter NZ. Once her application is granted.

You would also get job easily.

Goodday gurus in the house, please I want to enquire if it's possible to secure a job with one year NZ visitors visa. Thanks

There's nothing like one year NZ visit visa.

yes nothing like a year visitor visa.... if u have a visa waiver passport, then u will be granted a year visitor pass at the border but u can’t stay more than 3 month in NZ within that one year. And 6 months maximum if you’re from the UK.

General visitor visa is 3 months which can be extended to a maximum stay of 9 month if u have a good reason for extension e.g relationship.

But INZ often grant a straight 9 months visitor visa depending on your circumstances and it’s usually a multiple entry visa which means u can travel in and out of NZ within a year and half (18 months) for a maximum stay of 9 months.

Please on the INZ express entry. From their website I saw minimum point of 100 here am seeing 160. I am bit confused. My score was 150 because I have Msc. I have some years of Experience in Electrical Engineering and also Instrumentation and Process Control Engineering. I want to know how feasible it will be for me to start INZ EE process. Thanks

Great.

Just as discussed last year

I would be submitting my PP for renewal in May and then apply first week in July, that's 2 moths ahead of scheduled travel date.

I hope this is in order, what do you think?

It’s because NZ is the least popular of all the countries mentioned in your post. You can’t compare the threads as there are more nairanlanders in those country who are willing to share info....... NZ is a small country, and not so many Africans are migrating here. You can compare with Norway, Iceland etc thread.

Most African in NZ are refugees from East Africa and some South Africa citizens

Many Nigerians today still don’t know there’s a country call New Zealand.... But it’s the favourite tourist destination for Europeans and Americans.


I appreciate the help you have been giving to people on this forum . I am interested in New Zealand and as matter of fact I am preparing applying for a visit visa . I would need you to guide and give some advise on best way to go about it . I already requested for a private message if that would be possible.

Hello sir,
I am a final year student of Industrial Chemistry and I will like to further my masters at NZ.
I want to ask what are my prospect in terms of employment to sponsor myself as an Industrial chemist and can I get a scholarship because I really don't have anyone who can help me ( I am going to grade with a strong 2.1)
If I can get a scholarship, how can I go about getting it or even seeing it.
Thanks for your time.

I think Master card should be alright. I’ve always use NZ visa card for any NZ payment even when I was in the country so I don’t really know much abt this.
