Dependent Child Student Visa
Study in New Zealand While Staying Close to Family
At AAIGL, we understand that your child’s future is just as important as your own. The Dependent Child Student Visa allows children of eligible work or student visa holders to live and study in New Zealand, often as domestic students, which means access to quality education without the high cost of international fees.
How We Help You & Your Child Succeed
We offer end-to-end support to make this process smooth and stress-free. Our licensed advisers guide you through every detail:
- Eligibility Check: We confirm whether your child qualifies based on your current visa (work or student) and their age and dependency status.
- Document Preparation: We assist with collecting key documents—such as birth certificates, relationship proof, and financial support evidence.
- School Guidance: Our team helps you choose the right primary or secondary school and secure confirmation of placement.
- Visa Application: We prepare and lodge the application with Immigration New Zealand, ensuring all legal and immigration requirements are met.
- Ongoing Support: Need to extend the visa or adjust it later? We’re here to support transitions or renewals as your family’s needs evolve.
