New Zealand Pathway Student Visa Pilot

You are here: Home / Immigration / New Zealand Pathway Student Visa Pilot

November 28, 2019 //  by Amit Kumar

Immigration New Zealand has introduced new changes for the current Pilot Pathway Student Visa that it will be permanent by 2021, with some other changes. This Pathway Student Visa is for international students who want to study up to 3 consecutive programs of study with approved education providers on a single visa for up to five years.

The Visa is only available for study with the approved Pathway education providers and some courses of study. And this student visa pilot will continue until January 2021 when it becomes a permanent visa category.

The three different curriculum items can be completed in one educational institution or different types of courses offered by various educational institutions. Candidates may apply for a pathway student visa only if they have offers from one or more pathway education providers who are participating in the Pathway Student Visa pilot. The pilot is available for selected primary, secondary and tertiary providers.

The Pathway Student Visa Pilot initially was launched in December 2015 to permit overseas students to study on a single student visa for three consecutive courses for up to 5 years. Visa is only available for study program with approved education providers and specific courses of study.

  • Pathway Student Visas facilitate to complete a qualification plan as it is long enough.

Changes to the Pathway Student Visa in 2021

There are two changes to the Pathway Student Visa when it becomes permanent in January 2021.

  • Education providers will only be eligible to be a Pathway education provider if 80% of the applications received from offshore students intend to study with them.
  • The restrictions will be updated around the study pathway starting with English language studies so that they are consistent with the English language requirements for international students set out in the New Zealand Qualification Framework (NZQF) Program Approval and Accreditation Rules 2018.

Benefits to Education Providers 

  • The Pathway Student Visa reduces cost and hassle.
  • The Visa provides certainty for students and their families
  • The Pathway Student Visa lets students concentrate on their studies rather than having to worry about visa applications, and
  • The Pathway Student Visa makes the transition between courses of study smoother.
  • If the educational institution currently on the list can no longer meet the requirements, they can leave the Pathway project.
  • The Immigration Department will develop a guaranteed process to ensure that these qualified educational institutions fulfil their obligations, and this information will be shared with industry professionals related to the international education industry.
