New Zealand’s Immigration Act 2009 does not require you to have a visa label placed in your passport to confirm your immigration status and entitlements in New Zealand, and is issuing more eVisas in place of physical labels. The use of eVisas generally makes the visa application process faster and simpler.

If you are issued an eVisa, you will get a visa approval notification containing all the details of your visa, including the visa start and expiry dates and any travel conditions. It is important that you keep this visa approval notification in a safe place and carry it with you when you travel.

The process for label-less visa is generally the same as the process advised below, except you are not required to pay an application fee and instead of the application form, you can write a request letter stating your identity, contact details and outlining your visa transfer request.

Under certain circumstances, student visa holders may work part-time, and/or full-time during scheduled vacations or to meet course requirements for practical work experience. It may also be possible for students to work in New Zealand after they have completed their studies.
