Foreign students prepare to leave country as study visas expire Tuesday, February 9, 2021 RNZ
Study visas for thousands of foreign students are expiring, and many are preparing to leave the country.
Official figures show half of the 40,000 international students in New Zealand at the middle of January have study visas that expire by the end of March.
The Crown agency charged with attracting foreign learners, Education New Zealand, expects up to 40 percent of those will renew their visas and continue studying.
If that happens, it says schools and tertiary institutions will start the year with between 25,000 and 30,000 foreign students, when under normal circumstances the figure is closer to 100,000.
