Making an offer of a place

Students from overseas must have an offer of a place from a New Zealand education provider before they can get a student visa.

All offers of a place must include:

  • the education provider's name and contact details
  • the full name of the student (family name or surname underlined) and their current address
  • the name of the course and the minimum time required for completing it
  • proof that the course and the course provider meet New Zealand’s requirements for international students
  • the amount of the fee for the complete course, or, if the course is longer than one year, the annual fee
  • whether or not the student has to pay course fees
  • whether the fees are domestic or foreign fees
  • whether the student is studying full-time or part-time, and
  • confirmation all requirements under the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students are met (including accommodation for under 18 year olds and course prerequisites).

See the detailed offer of place requirements for international students.
