안녕하세요? 고투엔젯입니다.

학생비자관련하여 뉴질랜드이민성에서 발표한 변동사항에 대해 알려드립니다.

1.뉴질랜드 유학을 위해 학생비자를 발급받았으나 코로나 19로 인해 학교 수업시작을 올해 하반기나 내년 초로 미룬 경우 학생비자는 그때까지 유효하게 됩니다. 다만 학생이 다니게 될 뉴질랜드 학교에서 반드시 뉴질랜드 이민성에 이 사실을 알려야하므로 이에 해당하는 학생들이 있는 경우 뉴질랜드 학교 담당자와 관련내용을 상의하시기 바랍니다.

Students overseas: Deferred study

If you have deferred your study to later in the year or early 2021, and your visa will remain valid over this period, your education provider should notify INZ. Your file will be updated with this information. Your visa remains valid and your visa travel conditions still apply.

If you decide to cancel your study plans, contact your education provider. 

2.뉴질랜드이민성에서는 현재 필수 산업 섹터로 분류되고 있는 수퍼마켓이나 보건의료 분야에서 학업과 일을 병행 하고 있는 학생비자 소지자의 경우 일정기간동안 주 20시간 이상 일을 할수 있도록 하였습니다.

Student visa changes to support essential services

Changes have been made to relax visa restrictions for some visa holders to work in essential services to support New Zealand’s response to COVID-19. Students currently employed by supermarkets and the healthcare sector will be able to work for more than 20 hours in certain circumstances as listed below.

If this applies to you and you want to work more than 20 hours, you will need to discuss your plans with your education provider as you still must meet the study requirements of your student visa.

Supermarkets

If you were an employee at a supermarket on 23 March 2020, you may work more than 20 hours per week from 25 March 2020 to 25 April 2020 (inclusive).

This applies to supermarkets operated by Woolworths New Zealand – owners of Countdown, Super Value and FreshChoice supermarkets – and Foodstuffs Limited – owners of New World, Pak n Save and Four Square.

Healthcare sector

If you are currently employed in healthcare roles (including aged residential care) you will be able to work more than 20 hours for three months in order to support the public health response to COVID-19.

Further information about how this will be implemented for healthcare employers will be released when available.
