Can I study in New Zealand for six months and then move to Australia for six months?

Yes, you can study in New Zealand for six months and then move to Australia for another six months, as long as you meet the visa requirements for both countries.

- New Zealand: You’ll need a Student Visa for your six-month course. This usually allows you to study full-time and work part-time (up to 25 hours/week) during term, subject to current visa conditions.
- Australia: After your New Zealand studies, you can apply for an Australian Student Visa (subclass 500) for your next course. This visa typically allows part-time work (up to 48 hours/fortnight).

Visa rules, processing times, and financial requirements are subject to change. You’ll need to show funds for tuition and living expenses, and both countries may require health insurance.
