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.
