International Students Visa Information

All international students must have a valid student visa to study in New Zealand. To be eligible, students must meet Immigration New Zealand (INZ) requirements, including:

  • Enrolment in an approved course with an education provider

  • Proof of sufficient funds to live and study in New Zealand

  • Proof of acceptable insurance coverage

 

VisaView System:

Education providers in New Zealand use VisaView, an online system provided by INZ, to verify the visa status of international students. This helps us ensure that all students have the correct visa for their study.For more information on how to apply for a student visa and the documents required, please visit the official Immigration New Zealand website.

 

Immigration Advice Disclaimer:

We are not licensed immigration advisers and therefore cannot provide immigration advice. If you need help or have questions about your visa application, conditions, or immigration status, we strongly recommend you seek advice from a licensed immigration adviser or consult Immigration New Zealand directly.

To find a licensed immigration adviser, visit the Immigration Advisers Authority website.

 

Contact Information for Immigration New Zealand (INZ):

Visa Conditions:

When you are issued a student visa, there are important conditions you must follow. These may include:

  • Studying full-time in the programme listed on your visa

  • Attending classes regularly and making satisfactory academic progress

  • Holding valid insurance for the duration of your stay

  • Not working more than the hours permitted (usually up to 20 hours per week during the semester)

 

Visa Expiry & Travel:

Other International Student Enrolment Information 

If you are not a New Zealand Citizen, Australian Citizen or New Zealand Permanent Resident and you wish to study in New Zealand, you will need to apply for a study visa. International students studying in New Zealand are required to enroll in a full-time course in on-campus studies.  

Full details of visa and permit requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and reporting requirements are available through the New Zealand Immigration Service and can be viewed on their website at www.immigration.govt.nz.

​

Certifying Documents

Certified copies of documents must be signed by a Justice of the Peace or public notary, stating that the copy is true to the original.

​

International English Language Testing System (IELTS)  

For any programme other than the English courses, you need to provide us with an IELTS test result or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). Please schedule an IELTS for academic purposes as soon as possible in your country, as it can sometimes take 3-4 months to sit the test depending upon availability.   When sitting the test, you can ask the testing center to mail your results directly to Alphacrucis.

 

Fees and Costs

International Students must pay their entire tuition fees before Alphacrucis can issue a Confirmation of Place, which is necessary for your Visa application to be processed.   All students’ fees are held in a trust account until the student has been in attendance for 8 days. Our Trust Account is held with the New Zealand Public Trust office. Details of the Public Trust ‘Fee Protect’ can be obtained from the Public Trust website: www.publictrust.co.nz  

​

FEES PROTECTION

The New Zealand Government requires all Private Training Establishments registered with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) to protect all student fees paid to them.

We have appointed the Public Trust to manage this obligation, and use their Fee Protect service. Public Trust is a government owned Trustee Company that has been in existence for over 135 years, and all fees are held in Public Trust's Common Fund. Capital and interest in the Common Fund are guaranteed by the New Zealand Government.

Accordingly, student fees are deposited into a trust account at Public Trust and paid to Alphacrucis College over the duration of their study in accordance with an agreed payments schedule. This ensures you receive a refund of the fees (or portion of fees) in the unlikely event that Alphacrucis College is unable to complete the course, for example due to closure, insolvency, or loss of NZQA accreditation. 

For more information visit Public Trust’s website or contact Public Trust on 0800 494 733.  

 

Health Insurance

International students must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand. Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your stay, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health and can be viewed on their website at https://www.education.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
