Hi,

I am in the process of applying student visa for my brother in an 18-month Masters programme in Auckland. I was of the opinion that we have to pay the first 12 months of tuition fees at the time of visa approval.

However, my LIA is saying that we need to pay the full 18 Months' Tuition Fees at the time of Visa approval.

Can seniors advise what are the rules for paying tuition fees for overseas fee paying students if the Masters Programme is an 18-month programme?

Regards,
