ニュージーランド政府は悪質な雇用主や留学エージェントによる移民の搾取を
なくす手立てとして、「Post-study work rights」のポリシー変更案を発表しました。
https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/changes-proposed-international-student-post-study-work-rights
Post-study work rights（OpenまたはEmployer Assisted）とは、ビザ申請に必要なその他の条件を満たし、尚且つニュージーランドの教育機関にて取得したコース修了資格が下記に該当していれば、コース修了後に取得可能な1～3年間の就労ビザのことです。

 Acceptable qualification

An acceptable qualification for a post-study work visa is New Zealand qualification listed on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework that is either:

a level 7 or higher qualification that involved a single course in New Zealand of 30 weeks or more

a level 4 – 6 qualification that involved a single course in New Zealand of 60 weeks or more

two or more level 4 – 6 qualifications that each involved 30 weeks or more of study in New Zealand, where the level of the last qualification is higher than the first

a National Certificate (Level 4) or New Zealand Certificate (Level 4) relevant to an occupation on Part B or C of our ‘List of Skilled Occupations’ that involved a single course in New Zealand of 60 weeks or more.

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) qualifications and level 4 qualifications that are not a National Certificate or a New Zealand Certificate aren’t considered acceptable qualifications.

 
8月を目途に新しいポリシーを決定し、早ければ来年から施行になる可能性がありますが、現在はConsultation期間中ということで、生徒、学校や留学エージェント等、多方面からのSubmissionを2018年6月29日（金）の午後5時まで受付中です。
詳細はこちらをご参照ください。


ポリシー変更案は下記になります。

The proposed changes going out for consultation include:

Remove the requirement for post-study work visas to be sponsored by a particular employer,

Provide a one-year post-study work visa for non-degree level 7 or below qualifications,

Provide a three-year post-study work visa for degree level 7 or above qualifications,

Require students completing non-degree level 7 or below qualifications to undertake at least two years of study in order to gain eligibility for post-study work rights, and,

Require international students studying level 8 or 9 qualifications to be in an area specified in the Long Term Skills Shortage List in order for their partner to be eligible for an open work visa, and in turn the partner’s dependent children to be eligible for fee-free compulsory schooling.


尚、例えPost-study work rightsのポリシーが変更しても、ポリシー変更前に入学した生徒に対しては、以前のままのポリシーが適用され、影響はないとのことですので、コース修了後にPost-study work rightsをご検討の方は予めお知りおき下さい。
