Work rights in New Zealand
As an international student in New Zealand you may be able to work up to 20 hours a week. But working in another country can be very different from working in your country. In New Zealand, there are laws to protect all workers, and this includes international students. Find out more about your rights and responsibilities working in New Zealand here.
