Is it possible to show the total required funds for New Zealand education partly from an education loan and partly from bank account savings for a Master's?
Yes, you can show the required funds for New Zealand education using a combination of an education loan and personal bank savings.
Immigration New Zealand accepts:
- Personal savings: Recent bank statements showing sufficient funds.
- Education loan: A sanctioned loan from a recognized bank, with a detailed sanction letter (including collateral, moratorium, interest rate, and repayment schedule).
For a one-year master's, you typically need to show:
- Tuition fees: Varies by program.
- Living costs: NZD 20,000/year.
- Outward travel: NZD 2,000.
Funds must be genuinely available and accessible. Immigration New Zealand may ask how you plan to repay the loan.
