The Immigration New Zealand website contains a wealth of information including the full details of immigration requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying and reporting requirements while in New Zealand. Please visit www.immigration.govt.nz

It is important to be familiar with your entitlements to publicly funded health services in New Zealand as most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health care. If you receive medical treatment during your visit you may be required to pay the full cost of it. Full details are available on the Ministry of Health website www.moh.govt.nz

The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents, and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but you may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC website at www.acc.co.nz

Indian students studying in New Zealand have been requested to register online after arriving in New Zealand with the Consular Services Management System on the External Affairs Ministry website: www.madad.gov.in

Registration is free, simple and instant; it creates an online record of the student and enables the Indian government and its diplomatic missions to locate students and offer timely help if required. This registration process is explained to NZTC students during orientation.

These FAQs are designed for partners of students to assist them in settling into New Zealand. NZTC highly recommends all students with families to undertake thorough research prior to arrival in New Zealand. Click HERE to view the pdf.
