Do I need to show any documents for a gap of more than six months in my academic or professional journey in New Zealand?

Yes, you must provide clear documentation for any gap longer than six months in your academic or professional history when applying for a New Zealand student visa. Unexplained gaps can raise concerns about your study intentions.

Include:
- Detailed Statement of Purpose (SOP): Clearly explain the gap and how you used that time.
- Supporting documents: Such as employment letters, payslips, course certificates, medical reports, or affidavits for family commitments.
- Updated academic transcripts and CV: Show your qualifications and activities during the gap.

Consistent and honest documentation will strengthen your application.
