Application - Overseas Students

What do I need to come to school?

1) Visitor Visa

Students studying for less than 3 months may enter New Zealand on a 'Visitor Visa', but need to ensure that they have a return ticket before boarding their flight to New Zealand.

Note: If you are attending BML as well as a full Bible School semester (staying in NZ for 3 months or longer), you will need a 'Student Visa'.

Failure to obtain the appropriate Visa prior to entry into New Zealand, may result in the Immigration Department refusing entry at the time of arrival.

When your application has been accepted, we will send to you an information pack with the necessary steps to apply for your 'Visitor' or 'Student' Visa.

2) Compulsory Travel / Medical Insurance

Travel / Medical insurance is compulsory for all students entering New Zealand to study. The New Zealand Ministry of Education has provided minimum requirements as to appropriate levels of insurance cover and these requirements form part of the Ministry’s Code of Practice.

To ensure all our students have the appropriate insurance coverage we have selected two insurance companies - Orbit Protect and Uni-Care, who offer excellent student plans which comply with the Ministry of Education’s requirements.

These plans provide cover for trips outside New Zealand for up to 31 days as long as you are in Australia or the South Pacific and you return to New Zealand. Your cover must commence on the day you begin your travel and we recommend it concludes when you arrive back home. 

We require all our students to take out a policy with one of these two companies.

To make application for medical insurance with either of these companies, please complete the Education Waikato Insurance Application Form - you can either scan and email the completed form to lynettemuter@xtra.co.nz  or fax to +64 7 839 5890

Note: for any insurance related queries you can contact the insurance broker (Lynette Muter) directly via lynettemuter@xtra.co.nz
