New Zealand's student visa financial requirements are designed to ensure you can support yourself throughout your studies without financial hardship. The Funds to Support (FTS) scheme requires you to demonstrate NZD $20,000 per year for living expenses, which covers accommodation, food, transport, utilities, and personal expenses.
In addition to living expenses, you must show proof of tuition fees payment. Tuition fees vary significantly based on your institution and program level, ranging from NZD $22,000 for diplomas to NZD $50,000+ for professional programs. The cost calculator above helps you estimate total expenses based on your specific course and city choice.
Financial evidence can be demonstrated through bank statements (minimum 6 months), education loan sanctions from recognized banks, or sponsor declarations with CA-certified financial documents. It's crucial that these funds are readily available and not tied up in fixed deposits or investments that cannot be liquidated quickly.
