New Zealand is set to increase student visa fees and post-study work visa fees will more than double, as new charges are introduced across almost all categories.
Student visa fees will rise to NZD$750 from October 1 for those coming from non-Pacific countries, while post-study work visas fees will increase from NZD$700 to NZD$1,670. The New Zealand government announced visa fee increases across almost all visa categories on August 9, in a move that it said will “free up” more than NZD$563 million over the next four years, help to restore fiscal discipline and rebuild the country’s economy.
