16/09/09 - Changes to the domestic student definition and the List of Qualifications Exempt from Assessment

Domestic student definition

Immigration policy was updated on 14 September 2009 to reflect the removal of domestic student status for French and German postgraduate students. Note that French and German PhD students will continue to have domestic status in line with Government policy on domestic student status for all international PhD students.

List of Qualifications Exempt from Assessment

Changes to the Hungary, Netherlands and United Kingdom lists within the List of Qualifications Exempt from Assessment will take effect from 5 October 2009.

Key changes include:

* United Kingdom Masters qualifications added
* changes to dates associated with institutions
* former names of institutions added.
 
Newsflash
From 4 May 2009, the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 requires that anyone who provides immigration advice in New Zealand, onshore, must have a licence from the Immigration Advisers Authority, unless they are exempt from the requirement to hold a licence. From 4 May 2009, Immigration New Zealand will refuse to accept applications from unlicensed onshore advisers. From 4 May 2010, offshore advisers giving advice to people seeking visas, must also have a license. In other words, anyone, locally or overseas, unless exempt, must have an IAA licence.
