Do I need to apply separately for study visa and work visa, or is it a combined process in UK/New Zealand?

You do not need to apply separately for a work visa while studying in the UK, New Zealand, or Sweden. Your student visa or residence permit typically includes permission to work part-time during your studies.
- UK: Student visa allows up to 20 hours of work per week during term time. - New Zealand: Student visa permits up to 25 hours per week during studies and full-time during scheduled holidays. - Sweden: Residence permit for studies grants the right to work during your studies.
If you plan to work full-time after graduation, you will need to apply separately for a post-study work visa (PSW) or other work visa.
