New Zealand will introduce changes to its Pathway Student Visa (PSV) from July 20, giving international students greater flexibility in planning their studies. The changes will allow eligible students to switch academic disciplines without applying for a new visa, expand the range of study pathways covered under the visa, and provide more time for English language study.
The changes, announced by Immigration New Zealand, are aimed at making the Pathway Student Visa more flexible while supporting the government's efforts to strengthen New Zealand's appeal as an international education destination.
