新西兰学生打工的年龄限制
一般情况下，在新西兰，只有大学生以及高中12、13年级的中学生可以工作。学生在工作前，必须得到新西兰移民局的许可，申请把有条件的学生签证改为可工作的签证。这种情况经常被称为“条件变更”。学生可以在申请学生签证时申请变更，也可以在得到学生签证后单独申请。
新西兰学生打工的工时限制
如果学生有变更后的签证，允许在学校的学期(term)期间找每周工作时间最多20小时的工作，在圣诞节/元旦假期(新西兰暑假)中可以从事全日制工作。请注意：20小时是学生在学习期间每周可以从事最多的工作时数，如果同时从事一个以上的工作，全部工作的总时间每周不可以超过20小时。
学习期间可从事超过20小时最多工作时间的唯一例外情况，就是学生的学历中有工作实践要求；例如：作为课程的一部分，要求学生在实习单位进行规定时间长度的工作。学生可以工作的条件应在签证上或者新西兰移民局信函内明确说明，确认持有工作条件更改内容。
违反学生工作限制会如何？
如果发现学生违反签证条件，移民局会找到学生签证持有人询问情况，并根据调查结果做出处理决定；最严重的可能是取消学生签证并遣送回国。
