- Through an agent: the University of Waikato has many representatives around the world who are authorized to act on our behalf. These agents will have either a certificate of representation or an agreement signed by us - please ask to see this. Agents can advise you on programmes and help you enrol. Many students like to use agents to assist them with the Student Visa process.

- Take the offer of place, invoice and any other necessary documents to the Immigration New Zealand (INZ - at the nearest New Zealand Embassy or New Zealand Consulate office if there is no Embassy) to apply for a visa. Full details of visa requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and reporting requirements are available through the INZ, and can be viewed on their website at http://www.immigration.govt.nz
