8. Easy admission & entry New Zealand Student Visa New Zealand is perhaps the easiest major study destination for gaining course admission and a student visa. Choosing New Zealand is a way of avoiding application hassles and rejection. For many students, it may be the most viable option for gaining admission to a preferred line of study. The requirements for gaining admission into a course are usually spelled out by the education institution and seldom involve an admission test. There is little or no competition for entry to undergraduate courses. A properly filled out online application form - which many students do themselves online - often guarantees acceptance provided you meet basic admission requirements. Postgraduate courses can, however, be more competitive. They may require lengthy job experience for example. Visa applications involve more paperwork than study applications but are simple compared to some other countries. The main requirements for a student visa are evidence of admission to a course and demonstrating you have adequate financial resources.
