What are the work hour restrictions for students and their spouses in New Zealand and UAE?

In New Zealand, international students are generally allowed to work up to 20 hours per week during the academic term and full-time during scheduled breaks/holidays. Spouses of eligible international students (usually those enrolled in Level 9 Master’s or above) who travel on a Partner of Student Work Visa, allows them to work full-time for any employer. In the UAE, student visa holders typically have limited or no automatic work rights, and part-time work is only possible if separately approved or through employer sponsorship. Similarly a spouse can only work if they obtain their own separate employment visa sponsored by an employer. There is no automatic dependent work permission just because the student is studying.
