#NewZealand

In a move set to reshape international education choices, New Zealand’s government has announced a significant easing of work restrictions for foreign students, raising the limit on in-study work hours from 20 to 25 per week starting November 3, 2025. The policy change is a central feature of the country’s newly launched International Education: Going for Growth Plan and is expected to enhance the nation’s appeal to overseas learners, including a rising number of Thai students seeking international experience and supplementary income while studying (NDTV).
