Can my child go to school in New Zealand if we are not citizens or residents?

Who counts as a domestic or an international student at a New Zealand school, which children of visa holders can attend state schools free, how fees and student visas work for international students, and the Code that protects international learners. This is general information, not immigration advice.

Every statement on this page comes from an official source: Ministry of Education, New Zealand Legislation, Immigration New Zealand, NZQA and Immigration Advisers Authority.

What is the difference between a domestic and an international student?

The distinction comes from the Education and Training Act. Section 10 of the Education and Training Act 2020 defines a domestic student as a New Zealand citizen, a holder of a residence class visa who meets any criteria set by regulations, or a person in a class the Minister has required, by Gazette notice, to be treated as if they are not an international student.¹ The Act defines an international student as an individual who is not a domestic student.²

In its guidance to schools, the Ministry of Education puts it more simply. The Ministry describes a domestic student as a New Zealand citizen or a New Zealand resident, which includes Australian citizens.³

Why the difference matters: Every person between the ages of 5 and 19 is entitled to enrol for free education at state and state-integrated schools if they are a domestic student.⁴ Under the Act, except as that Part provides, every domestic student is entitled to free enrolment and free education at any state school or charter school from their fifth birthday until 1 January after their 19th birthday.⁵ Domestic students are funded by the Ministry through a school's operational funding, while international students must pay to enrol at New Zealand schools.⁶

Domestic and international students

Domestic student

The Ministry describes a domestic student as a New Zealand citizen or a New Zealand resident, which includes Australian citizens.³
Every person between the ages of 5 and 19 is entitled to enrol for free education at state and state-integrated schools if they are a domestic student.⁴

International student

The Act defines an international student as an individual who is not a domestic student.²
An international fee-paying student pays tuition and other fees to enrol at a New Zealand school.⁷
Under the Act, subject to section 520(3), an international student may not be enrolled at a state school or charter school without the board's or sponsor's consent.⁸

Which other children are treated as domestic students?

Beyond citizens and residents: The groups of school students who must be treated as if they are not international students are set out in an education notice.⁹ The notice is the Education (Domestic Student: Primary and Secondary Education) Notice 2026, which came into force on 15 February 2026.¹⁰

Among the groups the notice lists:

A child with a student visa who is the dependent child of a work visa holder, but only until the end of the year in which the work visa expires.¹¹
A child with a student visa who is the dependent child of an international student enrolled in a Doctor of Philosophy programme at a New Zealand university.¹²
A child with a student visa who is the dependent child of an international student supported by a New Zealand Aid Programme scholarship administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.¹³
A child with a student visa who is the dependent child of someone in New Zealand to study under an exchange programme approved by the New Zealand Government.¹⁴
A student or visitor visa holder in New Zealand to study under an approved New Zealand student exchange scheme offered by a Code signatory school or an approved exchange programme organisation.¹⁵
A child with a student visa who is the dependent child of the holder of a valid military visa.¹⁶
Until the end of the year their student visa expires, a child with a student visa who is the dependent child of a New Zealand citizen or residence visa holder, where the child's own residence application is being considered by Immigration New Zealand when they enrol, or their own citizenship application is being considered by the Department of Internal Affairs.¹⁷
A person who has made a claim to be recognised as a refugee or protected person, or is the dependent child of someone who has, and who holds a valid temporary visa.¹⁸
A person who has been recognised as a refugee or protected person, or is the dependent child of someone who has, and whose residence application is being processed.¹⁹
A person with a letter from the Protocol Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirming that they are, for the time being, entitled to immunity from jurisdiction under the Diplomatic Privileges and Immunities Act 1968 or the Consular Privileges and Immunities Act 1971, for the current school year, until the end of the year in which that status expires.²⁰
A person who holds a 2022 Special Ukraine Visa.²¹
A person in the custody of the chief executive of Oranga Tamariki under certain court orders.²²
Some children with a student visa who have entered New Zealand for adoption, in circumstances the notice sets out.²³

About the earlier notice: The 2026 notice revoked the Education (Domestic Students) Notice 2023.²⁴

What if my child does not have a valid visa?

If your child does not have the legal right to be in New Zealand, you need to apply to the Ministry of Education for approval before you can enrol them in a school.²⁵ If the Ministry grants approval, you can enrol your child as a domestic student.²⁶

The Ministry's eligibility requirements include:

The child must have been living in New Zealand with a parent or legal guardian for at least 6 months.²⁷
The child must not have enrolled in school as an international fee-paying student.²⁸

About this approval: The domestic student application is not a visa, and it does not affect or help your family's immigration status in New Zealand.²⁹ The Ministry strongly encourages families to look for a long-term solution by checking whether the child is eligible for a student visa, a residence visa or citizenship.³⁰

Can children of work or student visa holders get a student visa?

Immigration New Zealand's Dependent Child Student Visa lets a parent bring their dependent children to study at primary or secondary school in New Zealand.³¹ The parent must have an appropriate work or student visa.³²

Which parents' visas qualify: If the parent has a student visa, the child can only get this visa if the parent is here on a Government-approved student exchange scheme, is enrolled in a PhD at a New Zealand university, or has a Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship.³³ A child cannot get this visa if the parent has a Fishing Crew Work Visa, Recognised Seasonal Employer Visa, Supplementary Seasonal Employment Work Visa, Skilled Migrant Job Search Visa or working holiday visa, or is domestic staff of diplomatic, consular or official staff, or is a seasonal worker under the specific purpose or event work visa instructions.³⁴ If the parent holds an Accredited Employer Work Visa, whether the child can get this visa may depend on how much the parent earns, what their job is, or whether they supported the child for a visa on or before 26 June 2024.³⁵

The dependent child can only stay in New Zealand as long as the supporting parent can.³⁶ Immigration New Zealand notes that children cannot go to school in New Zealand if they are younger than 5.³⁷ If the child wants to study at tertiary level, they need to apply for a Fee Paying Student Visa instead.³⁸

Visitor visas for children: If you have a work visa, you can apply for a Child of a Worker Visitor Visa so your dependent children can visit you in New Zealand and study for up to 3 months.³⁹ If the children are to study for more than 3 months, they will need student visas.⁴⁰ A Child of a Student Visitor Visa lets a student's child join them in New Zealand and go to school for up to 3 months.⁴¹

On the Child of a Worker Visitor Visa: If children on a Child of a Worker Visitor Visa will study for more than 2 weeks, their school must be a signatory to the Code of Practice for international learners.⁴²

How does enrolment work for international fee-paying students?

An international fee-paying student pays tuition and other fees to enrol at a New Zealand school.⁷ International fee-paying students may apply to enrol for any length of time, from a few days to several years, at the school's discretion.⁴³ Enrolment details are written in a contract between the school and the student or their family.⁴⁴

Whether a state school can enrol an international student: Under the Act, subject to section 520(3), an international student may not be enrolled at a state school or charter school without the board's or sponsor's consent.⁸ An international student may not be enrolled at a state school or charter school if that would mean a domestic student who is entitled to enrol there, and has applied, cannot be enrolled.⁴⁵ Subject to other provisions of the Act, once enrolled at a state school or charter school an international student has the same rights to remain enrolled, and to tuition, as a domestic student.⁴⁶

On fees, tuition fees must cover the school board's best estimate of the cost of providing tuition to the student, an amount reflecting the student's use of the board's capital facilities such as property or furniture, and any other fee set by the board.⁴⁷

What student visa does an international student need?

The Fee Paying Student Visa is for students paying international tuition fees themselves, or with support from family, a loan or a partial scholarship.⁴⁸ The student's education provider must be a signatory to the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021.⁴⁹

A student aged under 10 who is not going to live in an NZQA-approved school hostel must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and live with that person while studying.⁵⁰ For living costs, a student in compulsory education, such as at a school in Years 1 to 13, must have NZD $17,000 for each year or NZD $1,417 for each month.⁵¹

What about exchange students and short visits?

An exchange student is an international student who is considered a domestic student, and must be part of an exchange programme approved by the Ministry.⁵² An exchange student does not pay tuition fees to a school.⁵³ Students on an exchange programme the Ministry has not approved are not domestic students and must be enrolled as international fee-paying students.⁵⁴

A visitor who is not a New Zealand citizen or resident can, with the principal's permission, attend a school for no longer than 2 weeks without being enrolled.⁵⁵ If a school receives payment for visitors to attend, the visitors must be enrolled as international fee-paying students and the Code applies.⁵⁶

What is the Code of Practice for international learners?

In New Zealand, only schools that are signatories to the Code can enrol international learners.⁵⁷ The Code covers all international school learners enrolled with a New Zealand school.⁵⁸ Under the Code, the school must make sure international learners are welcome, safe, and properly cared for.⁵⁹

NZQA administers the Code for the Government, and monitors and supports schools to meet it.⁶⁰ If an international fee-paying student does not live with their parents while studying, the school is responsible for their care at all times and must meet all the requirements of the Code.⁶¹

Before an enrolment contract is signed, the school must make sure the learner and their family are clear on likely educational outcomes and on their rights and responsibilities as an international school learner.⁶² If you have concerns about the school, an agent or student accommodation, NZQA says to contact the provider first and follow its complaints procedure.⁶³

Where can I get advice?

This page is not immigration advice. The Ministry of Education directs people to contact Immigration New Zealand about visa or other immigration issues.⁶⁴ By law, anyone who gives you immigration advice about New Zealand must be licensed by the Immigration Advisers Authority, unless they are exempt.⁶⁵

For questions about school eligibility rather than visas, the Ministry of Education asks people to contact it to enquire about eligibility to enrol in New Zealand schools as a domestic student.⁶⁶
