Yes, after completing your education in New Zealand, you can apply for a Post Study Work Visa (PSW) to stay and work there.

- Duration: Up to 3 years, depending on your qualification and length of study.
- Eligibility: Typically available if you complete a bachelor's degree or higher (Level 7 or above) in New Zealand.
- Financial requirement: You must show at least NZD $5,000 for living expenses (subject to change).

Visa policies can change, so requirements may differ for certain courses or qualifications. For guidance on your specific situation, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
