Foreign student fees
Most international students must pay foreign student fees at New Zealand
educational institutes. However, some international students are exempt
from paying foreign student fees, because they are classed as domestic students
for fee paying purposes. For a full list of exemptions refer to the definition
of domestic student on the Ministry of Education website.
Pastoral Care of International Students
