    Default Second post study work visa

    Hey guys
    Hope everyone is getting their visas and residencies
    Just wanted to ask, I have done diploma in IT level 5 before and diploma in business level 5 and 6 and after finishing that I took my 1 year open work visa or post study work visa in 2016,
    What do I have to study to get another post study work visa?
    Like can I do diploma in level 7 and I can get open work visa again ?
    Thank you

    Hello

    You will not be able to get one unless you meet one of the three criteria found in WD3.1.1 f i ii or iii

    Applicants may be granted a work visa if:
    f) they have not previously been granted a Post-Study work visa unless:
    i)they have undertaken and completed a second higher qualification that is either a New Zealand Bachelor’s Degree or postgraduate qualification, and have studied that qualification full-time in New Zealand for at least 30 weeks; or
    ii)they are working towards occupational registration and meet the requirements at WD3.1.15; or
    iii) transitional provisions apply (see WD3.5).

    So as it appear you wouldn't be transitional (Those that were already on SV's when the rules changed).
    You would either need to do a teaching qualification to meet ii) or a Bachelor's degree or higher (Post Graduate, Masters, Doctorate).

    A Level 7 Diploma would not be high enough to get another Post Study Visa.

    The table in WD3.1.5 shows that INZ makes a difference between a Bachelor's degree (L7) and a Diploma (L7)
