New Zealand has cemented itself within three centuries as one of the leading global destinations for business, education, and tourism. The developed country ranks pretty high on all significant indices for comparisons, such as quality of life, education, economic freedom, and more. Although New Zealand hosts only eight universities, they are ranked in QS World Rankings. Apart from providing a safe learning environment for international students, New Zealand, like the UK, offers students plenty of options in terms of programs made available at their universities. The country is a popular choice among students who want to pursue higher studies in Environmental science, marine science, and geology due to the experiential opportunities available.

If you want to pursue a program over three months, a student visa is necessary for New Zealand. Several student visas are available, and you must apply for and secure the one that best fits your requirements. New Zealand student visas are generally valid for four years, and to obtain one, the applicant will need to fulfill the following set of requirements:

• Proof of acceptance for a New Zealand University or Institution
• Financial statements to prove that the student can support himself during their time in the country
• A valid passport and related travel documents
• A return ticket to your home country
• A medical certificate
• Proof of tuition fees or scholarships, if any
• Health Insurance
