5 years or older (Primary School and High School)

They enter the country generally with a student visa under their own rights, for which their parents need to proof the same living funds of $1,670 NZD per month of stay + cost of the course (Primary, High School, etc.)

Cost of studies can be between $17,000 NZD and $20,000 NZD per year. This price can be divided into 4 quarters depending on the time the child is going to study, for instance, if they are only going to study for 6 months, the fee is divided in half.
