New Zealand Raises In-Study Work Limit for International Students From 20 to 25 Hours a Week From November 3
Immigration New Zealand has announced that from November 3, 2025, eligible international students may work up to 25 hours per week during the academic term, up from the previous limit of 20 hours.
The new limit applies to holders of new visas granted on or after November 3. Students who currently hold visas with a 20-hour work limit must apply for a variation of conditions or a new visa, and pay the applicable fee, to access the 25-hour limit.
Education New Zealand published the change in its industry update, noting that the higher limit also extends to exchange and one-semester study-abroad students.
