Have Your Say: Consultation on immigration settings for international students

Summary

New Zealand Government's Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment is consulting on proposals for changes to:

• post-study work rights; and
• the eligibility of student’s partners and their dependent children to work and study in New Zealand.

​The Government wants to ensure that international students coming to New Zealand are motivated by a great education and a great experience, but has concerns that current settings are not quite right, with some students still seeing study as a guaranteed pathway to residence and some students being exploited by unscrupulous people.
​
The Government wants to ensure it has the facts and the latest information before making any policy decisions.

​This consultation provides an opportunity for interested parties to provide their feedback.
