Fees, transparently

What a New Zealand application costs.

Immigration New Zealand prices each visa as an application fee plus an immigration levy, with the International Visitor Levy on top. These are the all-in government totals.

$441 Visitor visa — total Application fee plus the NZD $41 immigration levy and the NZD $100 IVL, applying from outside New Zealand.
$850 Fee Paying Student Visa NZD $485 application fee, NZD $265 immigration levy and the NZD $100 IVL, revised January 2026.
$1,540 Accredited Employer Work Visa NZD $480 application fee plus a NZD $1,060 immigration levy. Employer accreditation and Job Check are separate.
$100 International Visitor Levy Tripled from NZD $35 on 1 October 2024. Non-refundable even if your visa is declined.
FUNDS Student proof of funds NZD $20,000 per year of living costs, or NZD $1,667 per month for courses under a year, plus tuition and return airfare.
VAC Visa application centre fee Charged separately by the centre handling your biometrics. These rose in 26 countries on 1 January 2026.
MED Medical and police checks Chest X-ray and medical certificate for longer stays, plus an Indian police clearance certificate.

INZ publishes the all-in figure as a "from" price because levies vary by category. We confirm the exact amount with the official fee finder for your case before anything is paid.

Step-by-step

The Travelism New Zealand process.

01

Free discovery call

Purpose, funding and whether you already hold a US, UK or Canadian visa — which may make the cheaper NZeTA route available.

02

NZeTA or full visa

We check eligibility first. Applying for a full visitor visa when an NZeTA would do wastes several hundred dollars.

03

Provider and offer of place

For students: confirming the provider is NZQA-accredited before any tuition is paid. A non-accredited provider means outright refusal.

04

Funds evidence

NZD $20,000 a year for students, or NZD $1,000 per month for visitors, documented with a clear and explainable source.

05

Medical and police checks

Chest X-ray and medical certificate arranged where the stay requires it, plus Indian police clearance.

06

Online lodgement

Filed through the INZ portal with every document attached at submission — the process is fully digital, with no paper route.

07

Additional Information Requests

If INZ asks for more, you usually get 28 days. We prepare the response rather than leaving you to interpret it.

08

Decision and arrival brief

Visa conditions explained, work rights confirmed in writing, and travel planned around your course start.

Why New Zealand

The destination most Surat families overlook.

New Zealand sits in the shadow of Australia and Canada in most Surat conversations, and that is exactly what makes it worth a look in 2026. Costs are materially lower, all eight universities are internationally ranked, and the process is now entirely online. It is not easier to get — it is just less crowded.

  • Student visa NZD $850 against AUD $2,500 for Australia
  • Work rights rose to 25 hours a week during term
  • Post-study work visa of up to three years after a qualifying degree
  • Fully digital INZ process with no paper application route
  • Provider must be NZQA-accredited — this is non-negotiable

The trade-off is scale: fewer institutions, fewer places and a smaller job market than Australia or Canada. We will say so plainly if your profile is better served elsewhere, rather than filing a New Zealand application because it looked like the easier sell.

Frequently asked

New Zealand visa questions, answered by Surat’s experts.

Travelism works New Zealand files from Star Arcade in Nanpura and holds a 5.0 Google rating across 118 verified reviews. Student applications are handled by Student Visa Specialist Rohan Mehta, with founder Azharuddin signing off every case. We will also tell you plainly when Australia or Canada suits your profile better.

A visitor visa applied from outside New Zealand totals from NZD $441, made up of the application fee, the NZD $41 immigration levy and the NZD $100 International Visitor Levy. The Fee Paying Student Visa is from NZD $850 in total following the January 2026 revision, and the Accredited Employer Work Visa is from NZD $1,540. A visa application centre service fee applies on top.

If you hold a valid US, UK or Canadian visa, often yes — and it is dramatically cheaper and faster, approved online without biometrics. It allows multiple entries of up to three months over two years. We check this first for every client, because applying for a full visitor visa unnecessarily wastes several hundred dollars.

NZD $20,000 per year for living costs for courses of a year or longer, or NZD $1,667 per month for shorter courses, in addition to full tuition and return airfare. As with every destination, the source of the funds matters as much as the amount.

Work rights rose from 20 to 25 hours a week during term time on 3 November 2025, with full-time work permitted during scheduled holidays. After a qualifying degree you may be eligible for a post-study work visa of up to three years.

Visitor visas for well-documented Indian applicants are often decided quickly, while student visas commonly take four to ten weeks and can stretch during the January and July intakes. INZ publishes live processing times by category, and we plan your dates against the current figure rather than a general estimate.
