If I do not get a job after completing my course, can I still bring my family later on a student visa in New Zealand?

Yes, you can bring your family to New Zealand later on a student visa, even if you do not secure a job after your course. You would need to enroll in a new eligible study program and obtain a valid student visa; your family can then apply for dependent visas to join you.

Visa options for your family depend on the level of your qualification and are subject to change. You must also meet all visa requirements, including proof of funds and health and character checks.

For personalized guidance based on your situation, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
