Lifeset Overseas does NOT process work permits. Work permits require a separate MEA Recruiting Agent (RA) licence under the Emigration Act, which we do not hold. Our PTA Licence (No. 849/DC/PTA/PLA/LC-3/2024) covers visa consultancy only — study, permanent residency, visitor, family, and CAIPS/GCMS support. This page exists so you understand the work-permit pathway, not because we can apply for it on your behalf.

The New Zealand Post-Study Work Visa lets graduates of an eligible New Zealand qualification stay and work in New Zealand for up to three years. It is the route most Indian graduates use to gain New Zealand work experience, which in turn opens the Skilled Migrant residence pathway.
This page is provided for awareness only. The Post-Study Work Visa is a work visa, and Lifeset Overseas does not process work-related visas — they fall under a separate licensing regime. What we can do, and do very well, is build the study application that puts you in line for it: a strong New Zealand Student Visa for an eligible Level 7+ qualification, studied full-time for at least 30 weeks.
If New Zealand residence is your real goal, talk to us about the study route and the Skilled Migrant pathway it leads to — a plan we can fully and honestly support.
A real way forward
Work visas aren’t our licence — a real route to New Zealand is.
Employer-driven work visas need a separate licence we don't hold — so this page is information only. But if your real goal is to build a future in New Zealand, we can help with a study route, a family route, or permanent residency where it exists. Talk to us and we'll map the honest path that actually works for you.

We assess your profile and show you which New Zealand pathway can realistically work for you.
