If truly you want to study in New Zealand, don't be discourage, i will encourage you to apply. Am talking from experience. A cousin of mine used forged documents to apply for Canada visa, and he was denied and banned! So when he wanted to apply for US visa, a lot of people discourage him not to apply for US visa, and he was told US and Canada shares information bla bla bla. I encourage him to apply, and never listen to them. He got his 2 years multiple visa last year November 2014, and he's currently in Houston Texas. US and Canada dont use same central database system, Same with Australia and New Zealand.

Note: Australia and New Zealand dont use same central database visa system.

They are just neighbors, and they don't use same central system for visa, and there is no way New Zealand will know about your previous Australia denial, except if the refusal stamp is on your passport! Believe me, that will not make affect your visa, This time you have to make sure all your documents are genuine, and package your application well, you will come here to share testimony. Mark my word! My uncle lives in Christ Church and i also have cousin there, the country is a nice place. If you already gotten your admission, try gather all the necessary documents together and apply. Wish you best of luck.

Thanks... will get back on my feet and forge ahead , I will keep trying until I break even. Have tried Canada but was denied few weeks back d reasons given was
Travel history
Purpose of visit and financial assets .

Please do not be discouraged all...if you are really keen on getting your nursing degree in NZ then go ahead and apply, when it gets to the Visa stage they will ask you for reasons why your visa was denied then it will be good to explain further to them..this is a civilized country and they will only take extra care in checking your documents to make sure they are correct which means your visa decision could take longer to process. Good luck.

You are a man/woman of wisdom. Thanks

I saw a course of 2300 dollars in a newzealand university, but the program duration is 12weeks, which made me fall under visitor categories.
since its not a student visa, i write to ask if my visa application to newzealand with that short course, before i proceed to pay my tuition.
Thanks

Pls do I have to pay for tuition in full before I can be issued a student visa to study in new zealand, or can I pay in instalments (pay like half and complete the remainin when I start the program). Pls I will be glad to get a feedback. Cheers

Nah is not required,you pay full

You should have at least 15,000 New Zealand dollars. Have you applied for admission yet?

Thanks @ solomoncater. I have not applied yet but hoping to apply soon. How ever, I am looking to start in march 2016 to study masters in public health. Will it be too early to start the application process now. Pls, how possible is it to apply for scholarship. I had a 2:1 in my undergraduate degree.

It is possible if it is research master. Good proposal, outstanding academic history, statement of purpose etc.

I am going for a taught masters degree not research.

That was why I said if its Research Masters, it is hard to get scholarship with coursework but not impossible.

It is possible but most employers now prefer to have you on ground before offering you a place. Check http://www.seek.co.nz/

Why waste money doing masters by coursework when you can work full time and get a job doing masters by research? "Just thinking loud"

Please Truth234, do they grant visa for student going for undergraduate program (Diploma), and is it a must to have English proficiency certificate before getting visa?

Yes they do and its not a must to have English proficiency certificate but check with your school of interest to be sure.

Thanks.. Most schools will waive English certificate for admission but i do not really know if it is compulsory to getting visa.
