EZmigrate's NZ-registered immigration advisors prepare your complete NZ student visa application — GTE statement, financial documents, offer letter, and lodgement — with a 98% first-attempt approval rate.
The New Zealand student visa is assessed on documentation quality — particularly the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) statement, financial evidence, and how well your application addresses Immigration New Zealand's current assessment criteria. A poorly prepared application is the most common cause of refusals.

The Genuine Temporary Entrant statement is the most critical part of your NZ student visa application. It's where Indian students most commonly make costly mistakes — and where EZmigrate's expertise delivers the biggest advantage.
The GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) statement is a written explanation demonstrating that your primary purpose for entering New Zealand is to study, and that you intend to return to India or move on after your studies — not to remain in NZ unlawfully.
A strong GTE statement addresses your ties to India (family, property, employment), your genuine motivation for choosing New Zealand and your specific course, your financial capacity, your understanding of your visa conditions, and your future plans after graduation.
Many Indian students write vague, generic GTE statements that fail to convince immigration officers. Common mistakes include copying templates, failing to address specific personal circumstances, or not understanding what "genuine temporary entrant" actually means in NZ immigration law.
Our NZ-registered immigration advisors draft a personalised GTE statement based on your specific profile, circumstances, and study plans — referencing current NZ immigration policy. This is the single biggest reason our approval rate is 98%.
A weak GTE statement is the most common reason for NZ student visa refusals. Refusals create a visa history that can complicate future applications — making it critical to get the GTE right the first time. EZmigrate's 98% rate means refusals are extremely rare with our preparation.
