Can I work part-time while pursuing a diploma course in New Zealand?
Yes, you can generally work part-time while studying a full-time diploma course in New Zealand.
Most international students are allowed to work up to 25 hours per week during academic terms and full-time during scheduled breaks, including holidays. This is typically granted if your course is at least two academic years long, is at Level 4 or above on the New Zealand Qualifications and Credentials Framework (NZQCF), or is at least one year and part of an approved exchange.
Work rights are subject to change and depend on your specific course and visa conditions. Check your eVisa or visa approval letter for the exact permissions.
