19 questions
Expert Answers
Does my family income affect my eligibility to apply for a student visa to Australia or New Zealand?
→Is it true that in New Zealand, expenses are very high and it is difficult to get a part-time job while studying physical education for a Master's?
→Are there cities other than Auckland in New Zealand where accommodation costs are lower?
→Yes, cities like Christchurch, Hamilton, Dunedin and Palmerston North all offer significantly lower accommodation costs than Auckland. Christchurch's median 2-bedroom rent runs around 500 dollars a week versus Auckland's 680, while Dunedin comes in even lower at around 420 dollars a week.
Is it difficult to show thirty lakhs as show money for the visa in New Zealand?
→No, showing Rs 30 lakhs is not inherently difficult for your New Zealand visa, but proving its source is the real challenge. Immigration New Zealand prefers a 3 to 6 month banking history and flags sudden lump-sum deposits as unexplained funds, which is the leading cause of student visa rejections.
If full fees for one year are paid, do we still need to show the entire show money in New Zealand?
→Yes, you still need to show living and travel funds even after paying your full first-year tuition. Immigration New Zealand requires NZD 20,000 in living costs per study year plus roughly NZD 2,000 for return travel, backed by three to six months of bank statements showing legitimate funds.
