Global Agent Webinar: Understanding best practice for student visa applications

Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) and Immigration New Zealand (INZ) collaborated to organise a webinar for education agents in early March on best practice for lodging student visa applications.

The webinar was well received, with 1,364 attendees from around the world over two sessions scheduled to accommodate for different time zones.

The session provided education agents with the latest information on visa processing, student visa insights, types of student visas, financial requirements and best practice for submitting student visa applications. It also featured a robust question and answer segment where pre-submitted questions from attendees were addressed.

INZ Engagement Partner (Acting), Mark Andrew, said the webinar was a valuable opportunity to engage directly with education agents and answer their questions.

“This webinar helps ensure education agents have the most up to date information and guidance to support more efficient processing and favourable outcomes based on real life examples and trends. Immigration New Zealand and Education New Zealand working in partnership to deliver the Global Agent Webinar is key to ensure a positive customer experience for agents, applicants and the wider sector.”

If you missed this session, the recording, slide deck and a copy of the Q&As are available to view on AgentLab.
