新西兰留学必知——毕业生工作签证政策解析
很多计划来新西兰留学的学生，希望在完成学业后在新西兰寻找工作和移民机会，因此新西兰毕业生工签就对这些学生尤为重要。新西兰毕业生工作签政策在今年5月进行了更新，工签政策较此前有所收紧。目前新西兰政府鼓励学生来新西兰就读更高等级的教育（本科及以上学位课程），并取消了二次工签。
下面，留学益网为大家梳理下今年9月7日起实施的新西兰毕业生工作政策（PSW工签），希望对近期计划申请新西兰留学的小伙伴和家长朋友们有所帮助。
新西兰毕业生工作签证概述：（适用于2022年5月11日后申请新西兰留学的学生）
- 学习7级本科学士学位及以上等级课程的学生，可在毕业后申请新西兰毕业生工签，工签期间不限雇主和工作种类限制。
- 学习7级或以下非学位课程的学生，课程在新西兰毕业生工签资格清单上才有资格申请毕业生工签，且从事的工作必须为指定的工作，但无工作收入要求，中途可更换雇主。（职业主要包括建筑项目经理、建造师、中学及幼教教师、工程技师等。）
- 在新西兰毕业生工签资格清单上的7级及8级课程学生，以及9级硕士或10级博士学生，其配偶仍可以申请开放式工作签证，学龄子女可同本地学生一样享受免费中小学教育。
- 新西兰毕业生工签的时长最长为3年，并和学生在新西兰学习的课程等级和时长有关。如果是就读硕士学位和博士学位课程学生，将继续可以申请三年毕业生工作签证。就读8级或以下等级课程的学生，工签时长和课程时间一致（以学校offer时长为准。因不及格或其他原因导致学习时间比offer规定的时间长，并不会延长PSW时长。）。
- 不能二次申请新西兰毕业生工作签证。
- 如果在完成了本科学位后连续就读其他毕业后学位课程，则可申请更长的PSW工签，但PSW工作签证最长仍为3年。

虽然新西兰毕业生工签政策有所收紧，但对于有一定学习和经济能力的学生来说，来新西兰留学仍不失为一个高性价比的留学选择。鉴于目前新西兰取消了二次工签，所以这里也建议同学们根据自身情况，在完成最高等级学业后，再去申请新西兰毕业生工签，以保障拿到最长时长的工签，在新西兰当地累积更多工作经验，最大化新西兰移民可能（举例来说，技术类Diploma学生，推荐升读本科，毕业后去申请本科offer时长的PSW；GD或PGD学生，推荐继续升读硕士，毕业后去申请3年PSW）。
