Is it possible to take a post-study work visa after studying in Australia or New Zealand?
25 Jun 2026 · Answered by Honnappa Chandrannavar · 1 min read
Yes, you can apply for a post-study work visa (PSW) after studying in both Australia and New Zealand.
- Australia: Graduates can typically apply for a Temporary Graduate Visa, allowing you to stay and work for 2 - 4 years, depending on your qualification level and location.
- New Zealand: A Post Study Work Visa is available for up to 3 years, based on your qualification and how long you studied there.
Visa rules and durations are subject to change. For personalized guidance on your application, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
