What is the post-study work visa duration in New Zealand?


In New Zealand, the duration of the post-study work visa depends on your qualification and where you studied. Here are the general guidelines:

- You can get a Post-Study Work Visa for up to 3 years.

2. For Level 7 Graduate Diploma or Level 4-6 Diploma:
