Is education for children and spouse visa included in the New Zealand study visa facilities for a PhD?

No, education for your children and spouse is not automatically included with your New Zealand study visa.

- Spouse: If eligible, your spouse may apply for a partner visa, which could allow them to work or study in New Zealand, but tuition fees and separate visa applications are required.
- Children: Dependent children can apply for visas to join you, but their schooling is not automatically free or included. School fees and visa requirements apply unless you are studying at PhD level, where some exceptions may exist.

Visa policies and education entitlements are subject to change. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
