1 option to consider.
New Zealand offers the Accredited Employer Work Visa, which ties you to one employer, job and location and cannot include a partner or children, plus residence routes and a student visa; fees start at NZD 1,540 (work), NZD 6,450 (residence) and NZD 850 (student), and the current wage threshold and Green List were not confirmed.
A Fee Paying Student Visa needs an offer of place from an approved provider, proof of tuition for one course or one year, living costs of NZD 20,000 per year (self-funded tertiary study), medical and travel insurance, and in most cases a clean health and character record. Part-time work is limited to 25 hours a week during study and only for certain courses; full-time work is allowed only in scheduled breaks for courses of at least 120 credits. Processing is busiest from October to March.
