If my wife completes a 2-year master's and 3-year PhD abroad, will she get school fee benefits for our children during that period in UK/New Zealand?

No, children of international students in both New Zealand and the UK are usually required to pay international student fees while the parent is studying.

- New Zealand: Children typically pay international fees, which range from NZD 12,000 - 18,000/year at state schools. Private schools may charge more.
- UK: Children are generally considered international students and pay higher international fees. Exceptions are rare and usually require long-term UK residency or the parent having indefinite leave to remain.

Fee policies are subject to change.
