BF3 Pre-purchase of ESOL tuition (27/07/2009)

1. Non-principal applicants who pre-purchase English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) tuition, instead of meeting the minimum standard of English, must pre-purchase ESOL tuition from TEC (the Tertiary Education Commission) by paying the required charge to the NZIS (who collect this charge on behalf of TEC). (See BF3.15.)
2. Before a residence visa is issued or a residence permit is granted, applicants must pay any ESOL tuition charge due.
