Good morning nlders,
Please, I am greatly disturbed. I applied for a New Zealand student visa. Paid the application fee, using my naira master card. I was directed to send my passport and a handling fee to South Africa. The handling fee could be paid through local bank transfer to their account in SA, or by credit/ debit card, in which you will have to send your card details. I opted for the latter.
Few days later, I received a mail that my card payment was unsuccessful, even though I had enough money in my account. I sent another card details of another account, same problem. I then pleaded with them to give me time to open a dollar account and do the transfer, they obliged. But, Ecobank messed me up and delayed the whole process. The people in charge couldn't wait any longer, so they had to send the passport to immigration New Zealand for processing without the handling fee. My passport has already been verified and returned to me.
My question is this, Will my inability to pay the handling fee affect the visa decision?
Please, who has ever been in this situation, help me out on what happened and how you were able to rectify the problem.
I'm really worried and confused.
Thank you very much.
Did u later get the Visa?

Most schools does not require IELTS for admission especially PhD.

No tuition deposit in NZ, and school fees are paid in full before the visa.

Pathway to PR is point-based. BSc is 4, Masters 5 and PhD graduate is 6 points. You can have working experience to add more point. If you have some occupation, you can apply for skill to resident, direct PR.

Family is allowed for Masters and PhD.

Please tell me more about the skill to resident. What occupation is in need? I have years of experience in warehouse and distribution.

Some schools such as Massey University requires transcript evaluation. Yes, WES or ECE evaluation is accepted.

Good morning everyone, i applied for the student nz exactly a month and 4 days ago. I was contacted to send additional details after 1 week of the application. I did. Ever since then, there's been no response from them. They haven't even requested to verify my passport. I am so worried. Please what could be the problem?
Re: General New Zealand Student Enquires by peze: 12:48am On Jul 08
Since you've provided the requested additional details, there's no need to worry. Simply be patient and wait for the outcome. New Zealand offers e-visas, so you may not requested to submit your passport for verification.

VISA APPROVED
Appreciation to everyone who has provided information previously that guided me on this path.

Got my offer of place in June 26th precisely. The dollar rate actually affected my already saved funds, so it delayed my process.

I applied for my visa September 14th it was a group application, my wife and two kids.
A week after application I got an email requesting I submit my research abstract and filled the form 1200.

October 12th my wife got an email requesting she proved we've been living together that they are already satisfied that we have a genuine relationship. They gave a 26th October as the deadline to provide this.
I went to the local government where we live and got a Domicile letter and we also added some documents like invoices carrying our address from the company she usually get her toiletries, pictures of our first and second daughter naming ceremony in our residents with family and friends, although we've provided similar pictures during the application.

She responded to the email same day which was 13th October on a Friday and on Tuesday 17th our visa landed grin.

Documents submitted
Proof of fund: I used a fixed deposit certificate
Proof of employment: I'm an entrepreneur, I submitted my CAC documents, 5 years Annual returns receipt from CAC, recommendation letter from a federal university I've worked for commending my company (I run a solar company), clients reviews, memorandum of understanding I entered with top leading microfinance bank with sole aim to sponsor anyone interested in acquiring solar in their homes, 6 months bank statement of my company showing transactions (I banked with a microfinance bank), my NYSC certificate, and CV.

Education: I submitted my bachelor's and master's degree certificate and transcripts.

For my wife: She's a professional banker, I submitted all her employment letters (3), nysc certificate, and CV.

Other documents: marriage certificate, wedding pictures, numerous WhatsApp chat conversation I had with my wife relating to our family, pictures when we had our first baby, Xmas pictures when we went out to with our kids, birthday picture of our first daughter with both of us, chat conversation when my wife was asking me to get baby food for my little daughter with date.

Family ties: nothing much here, I don't have any landed property. I only presented a picture I took with my mum and dad, and I already stated I'm the only son of my parents.

Reason to return back to Nigeria: I presented My company as my treasure, with my bank statement already shown and the partnership my company entered with a microfinance bank, I will definitely come back. I stated I have few staff with their names and information in my cover letter, they will be the one running the company in my absence. Although, they are great guys and I trust them (just two of them).

My cover letter: this was a long one, since I won't be there when my application is been reviewed, I made sure I explained in details and be convinced that there won't be any question regarding my genuine intention to study and gave a good reason why I'm coming with my wife and 2 kids. It was a long letter (9 pages grin)

Men and brethren, I was in doubt if my application would be approved, but I and my wife prayed endlessly, especially using a fixed deposit from a microfinance bank, No landed property and many more. God came through and helped me.

Application duration was exactly 33 days.


My program: PhD in mechanical engineering, Auckland university of Technology.

Thank you all and God bless you.

If you're in this process or planning to apply, make sure all your documents are GENUINE and PRAY.

Congratulations! Please, can I send you an email for guidance? Did you join any Whatsapp group for direction and extra motivation or you got everything from their website?

Re: General New Zealand Student Enquires by skido04: 2:10pm On Sep 03
Please can you help clarify on this.
If the course is 18months. Do I have to pay for the full academic fees or just tge one year part of it.

Is it then advisable to aim for 2years so I can pay one year at a time instead of the whole bulk for just a year program.

Ticha:


You'll need to show financial evidence that equals:
1. First year of your fees (most masters programmes are 18 months to 2 years)
2. A minimum of $20K NZD as living expenses.

You will also need to show at least 6 months worth of bank statements

You pat whatever deposit they require but you have to shoe funds for the first year. If you have finds for the whole course duration saved, even better.

Hi guys, I would be glad if I can get a reply on this, I just went through the website of UofA for the tuition fee of PhD which is about 7k NZ$, if anyone has been able to get an offer there, I would like to know if that’s correct. I need clarification because AUT charge about 42,5k NZ$ even Massey university is also expensive.
Re: General New Zealand Student Enquires by peze: 5:49am On Sep 05
Massey PhD tuition fee is also around 7k-10k NZD/ year
