Is it possible to get a post-study work visa in Australia or New Zealand despite my previous visa refusal?
Yes, you can still apply for a post-study work visa (PSW) in New Zealand or Australia even if you've had a previous visa refusal.
Both countries assess your new application based on its current merits, not just past refusals. The key is to clearly address the reasons for your earlier refusal and show how you have resolved them. For example, if the refusal was due to insufficient funds or missing documents, ensure you provide strong, accurate evidence this time.
