Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

You can apply for a student visa while in New Zealand but it is recommended that you hold a valid New Zealand visa for the time your application is being processed.
You need to study a CRICOS registered course to be eligible for an Australian student visa. Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with Australian enrollments at this stage.

Yes, you are able to apply from within NZ. However, your NZ visa status may affect the way your application is assessed. Eg, if you hold a NZ visitor visa your chances of obtaining an Australian visitor visa will be generally lower than that of a NZ permanent resident.

I am a New Zealand citizen. Can I apply to migrate to Australia?

The special category visa or 444 visa allows NZ citizens to live and work in Australia as long as they are not considered to be of health or character concern. However, this visa will not normally lead to residency. NZ citizens would need apply for residency just like any other nationality.


If you are considering making the move to Australia, it’s best to check your residency options with us first.
