Yes, you can receive your offer letter this year for the September 2027 intake in New Zealand. Many universities accept applications up to a year in advance, so you can apply now and, once you have your offer, begin processing your bank formalities and arranging finances.

Starting early also helps ensure smooth processing for your student visa and other required documentation. Visa processing times are typically around 9.5 weeks, but this can vary.
