Is it possible for my brother, who has completed BCom and has no work experience, to apply for a student visa to New Zealand for a Master's?

Yes, your brother can apply for a New Zealand student visa for a master's program, even without work experience.

New Zealand’s student visa process mainly looks at academic qualifications, financial proof, and genuine intent to study - not prior work experience. He must secure admission to a full-time, approved course and show funds for tuition and living expenses (typically NZD $20,000/year, subject to change). Health and character clearances are also required.

If you need help with the application process, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
