Is part-time work allowed while studying, and how does it help manage living costs in UK/New Zealand?

Yes, you can work part-time while studying in both the UK and New Zealand, which can help manage your living costs.

- UK: International students on a Student visa can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during university holidays. Part-time jobs in retail, hospitality, or on campus can help cover daily expenses, but typically won't be enough for tuition fees.
- New Zealand: Eligible international students can work up to 25 hours per week during academic terms and full-time during scheduled breaks. Part-time earnings can significantly offset living costs, though you'll still need other funding for tuition.

Visa work rights and regulations are subject to change.
