New Zealand has announced changes in student visa fees and immigration policies effective October 1, 2024. The revised New Zealand visa fee will affect most visa categories. While implementing these necessary adjustments, New Zealand supports reduced fees for applicants from Pacific nations. This balanced approach ensures to maintain regional ties. 

Minister Erica Stanford points out that even with these new costs, getting a visa for New Zealand is cheaper than in places like Australia or the UK.

If you’re from the outside world of the Pacific, getting a student visa will now cost NZD 485 from  NZD 300. For post-study work visas, though the fee is dropping to NZD 320 from NZD 490, check for additional charges. For student visas, it’s raised to NZD 265 from NZD 95. Also, for the Post study work visas, the levy is raised to NZD 1350 from NZD 210.

The fee for the Accredited Employer Work Visa is going down a bit, from NZD 540 to NZD 480. However, there is a huge jump in immigration levy from NZD 210 to NZD 1060. This visa is important because it helps fill job gaps in New Zealand. It makes sure locals get prioritised but also lets companies hire skilled workers from overseas if there are any shortages. 

For the jobs in the lower levels, i.e., the ANZSCO levels 4 and 5, now you need to prove you can speak English. Also, People in these jobs used to be able to stay for up to five years. Now, you can only stay for three years at most. These changes in the New Zealand visa fee reflect the government’s efforts to manage immigration more effectively.

I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
