We are now taking International enrolments for study in 2025.
Agents play an important role in guiding students to choose the right programme of study and prepare them for a successful enrolment application. Our agents can provide students with information about our academic programmes, New Zealand government regulations, getting a student visa, meeting English language requirements, moving to a new country, and finding accommodation.
Most of our approved agents are officially Licensed Immigration Advisers (LIAs) and are licensed by the Immigration Adviser’s Authority (IAA) to provide specialist immigration advice. Please note that the IAA keeps a register of Licensed Immigration Advisers. Students can find a licensed immigration adviser through the IAA website. https://iaa.ewr.govt.nz/PublicRegister/Search.aspx
If an adviser is not listed on the IAA register, then they are considered unlicensed and should not be providing students with immigration advice. Only a licensed immigration adviser or a person who is exempt from licensing can give specialist immigration on New Zealand immigration matters, such as:

Students taking programmes of study lasting 36 weeks or longer must provide evidence to satisfy an immigration officer that:
Although students may be able to find part-time work in New Zealand there is a lot of competition and some cities offer more work opportunities than others. Please note also, that part-time work does not usually bring in enough money to contribute toward tuition fees or cover all your living expenses. Students may be allowed to work full-time during study breaks, provided their programme meets the Immigration requirements. Click here for more details.
Please note all international students are required to have appropriate travel and medical insurance from the date they leave their home country until their return home on completion of study. We are able to arrange this insurance for you. If your current insurance policy does not meet the minimum requirements below, we reserve the right to insist on a new policy. If Vision College Ltd issues the insurance, it will commence 10 days from the start date of the programme to cover students while travelling.
It is recommended that international students should hold insurance covering all the following aspects:
Health cover while in New Zealand
• Medical expenses incurred for the treatment of illness and/or injury (in excess of ACC cover) that requires surgery and/or hospitalisation – unlimited sum insured
• Medical evacuation related to serious illness and injuries – unlimited sum insured
• Emergency dental treatment
• Optical cover
• Costs for family members’ travel in the event that the student suffers a serious illness or injury.
Repatriation, search, and rescue
• Repatriation and expatriation in the event a student have to return home following an injury or illness which interrupts their study plans - unlimited sum insured
• Return of mortal remains/funeral expenses - including travel costs for family members, repatriation of remains, and funeral costs
• Search and rescue operation to locate the insured.
Travel into and out of New Zealand
• Missed flights or delays for travels into and out of New Zealand
• Medical expenses incurred for the treatment of an illness and injury incurred during the travel.
Personal liability
• Negligence causing bodily injury (including death) of another person or loss of or damage to property
• False arrest and wrongful detention.
Also, personal effects cover for laptops, expensive musical instruments, and belongings.
Insurance Costs
Vision College Ltd will arrange an appropriate insurance policy with an New Zealand provider if the student has not arranged an appropriate policy. The cost of the insurance will be detailed on the Schedule of Payment. See here for costs.
Students doing a course lasting two or more years are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week during the academic year.
Students doing a one-year course or more are eligible to work full-time over the summer holiday period.
To work you will need to apply for a variation of conditions to your student permit. However, you need to know that jobs are not always easy to come by and, by law, preference has to be given to New Zealand citizens or residents.
Many students find that study in New Zealand is very different from what they are used to. New Zealand educators value active participation in class. Students are expected to ask questions and also be expected to complete background readings during the coursework. Teachers facilitate your learning, but do not provide all that you will need to know.
If you have a licence in your own country, you can apply for an International Driver’s Licence before you leave. This is valid for one year before you need to take the New Zealand driving tests. Check with the New Zealand Embassy in your own country for further details of requirements: http://www.nzembassy.com/
There is no maximum age to apply, provided that you are a genuine student. Usually, students beginning their programmes are at least 18 years of age.
Your English language test results: IELTS or TOEFL, at the specified band score needed for the course. We also require certified copies of any academic results you have from your overseas high school or education provider. We may also require your curriculum vitae and a reference.
Undergraduate degrees are three years, diplomas are either one or two years and certificates are usually one year.
Your ATC New Zealand Offer of Place letter. This letter means you have been accepted to study at ATC New Zealand. It also states your course fee, which you must pay first to ATC New Zealand. You will then receive a receipt of payment. You must submit your Offer of Place, IELTS test results and receipt of fees, along with evidence that you have sufficient funds for living expenses, and a return international air ticket or evidence of sufficient funds to buy one, to your nearest New Zealand Immigration office.
Students who are eligible to work while studying may get causal jobs in areas like hospitality or other service industries. The current minimum wage in New Zealand is $ 16.50.
If you meet the requirements of the current immigration policy in New Zealand, it is possible for you to apply for residence at any time.
We suggest you apply at least two to three months before your programme starts so that you are organised to arrive on time. We highly recommend you use the services of an approved agent.
Options include Homestay accommodation where you can live with a New Zealand family, private accommodation or staying at a local Hostel.
