Study in New zealand

The students opting to study in New Zealand will have to demonstrate access to more funds because of 50% increase in the funds required for living costs. The students will now need to have access to livings costs of $15,000 per annum against the existing requirements of $10,000 p.a.

The new changes also make it mandatory for the students to have ready access to the funds required for the tuition fee and the livings costs for a period of 2 years if the duration of the proposed courses is 2 years or more. For the years that are subsequent to 2 years, the students will need to provide evidence of the payment plan.

Study in ireland

Study in Ireland As far as education for International students is concerned, Ireland is an emerging country, which is now spreading its wings. With students seeking new frontiers for higher education, Ireland has emerged as a very promising country because of two strengths - the medium of instruction and cheaper costs. More attractive for students is the visa, which is easy to obtain than any other country's (at least popular!) One strong reason why Ireland is also trying to attract more number of students is the fact that their population is not growing much and they would have a very low level of growth in further education, in terms of numbers.

REQUIREMENTS • Make sure all documentation required is in order and complete. • Age Student applying for a foundation course should ideally be in the age range 17 - 22 i.e. recently completed high school education. • Final offer letter from College (this will be issued once fees have been paid in compliance with Irish Government visa regulations). • IELTS band requirement – minimum 5.5 bands You will need to provide the following with your visa application. (Please remember, original documents are required and must be in English or accompanied by a notarised translation) Work While Study All nationals from the European Economic Area (EEA) have been free to take up employment in Ireland while studying. But if not belonging to EEA, then the students attending a full time course of at least one year’s duration leading to a qualification recognised by the Minister for Education and Science are entitled to take up casual employment (defined as up to 20 hours part time work per week or full time work during normal college vacation periods). The course of study must be listed on the internationalization register of recognized courses maintained on behalf of the Department of Education. Access to employment is denied to all other students. Everyone who has permission to work in Ireland has the same rights in the workplace, regardless of their nationality or immigration status. This means that you have a right to a legal contract, to lawful hours of work, to a salary at or above the minimum wage and other entitlements as set out in Irish law, including holiday leave, sick leave, parental leave and the right to join a union.

Italy Study Visa

Only a visa issued for study purposes is valid for your final enrollment at an H.Ed. institution in Italy.
No other type of visa will be accepted. Therefore you have to apply to thecompetent Italian diplomatic authority and ask for a study visa in your name. The competent Italian Embassy/Consulate is the authority responsible for accepting your pre-application and checking if you meet the requirements for the visa.
Remember

1. have a suitable accommodation in Italy;
2. may dispose of enough financial means to support yourself (go toSustenance);
3. are entitled to medical care in Italy (go to Health Insurance).
4. possess the amount of money necessary to travel back to your country, or have already purchased a valid return-ticket.

• While awaiting adequate initiatives within specific agreements between Croatia and Italy, Croatian citizens studying in Italy ascommuters are enrolled against evidence of just a simple entry visa (possibly, a visa for multiple entries) with no need for a stay permit.
• The same provision as under letter A. above is also applied to those foreign citizens who legally live in the Republic of San Marino (entry visa only, no need for a stay permit).
