What documents are required for the New Zealand visa application?

You will need standard documents for your New Zealand student visa, including a valid passport, offer of place, proof of tuition fee payment, evidence of sufficient funds, medical and police certificates (if applicable), and English language proficiency proof if required.

For your 2012 - 2015 gap, provide a detailed Statement of Purpose (SOP) and a separate gap explanation letter, along with supporting documents like admit cards, certificates, or other proof of activities during that period.

For work experience, submit official letters, appointment letters, salary slips, or employer reference letters.

Clear, honest documentation of your gap and work experience is essential.
