Chinanews.com, October 22. According to New Zealand Tianwei.com compiled a report, previously the Minister of Immigration of New Zealand announced that 250 Ph.D. and postgraduate students would enter the country. The education industry with tight funds welcomed this, but the school also admitted that it did not know how many students would accept it. This entry invitation.

　　A student said that the cost of entry is too high, and there is a risk of infection on the road, so he plans to stay in the United States for a while.

　　A PhD student from the University of Otago and the University of Victoria has been stranded in the United States since January this year.

He thinks it is a good sign that the New Zealand government allowed 250 doctors and postgraduates to enter the country this time.

　　"This is a good idea. New Zealand is able to keep its promises to students is a particularly good thing."

　　According to the regulations of the New Zealand Ministry of Health, anyone in New Zealand who may have an infectious disease can receive free medical treatment; but even this is not enough to allow him to return to New Zealand.

　　"As a student, we have a lot of worries. We must consider the cost and avoid getting the virus."

　　Now the price of a round-trip flight is at least three times higher than in the past, and then an quarantine fee must be paid, and the risk of infection will increase if there is a transfer.

　　The CEO of Universities New Zealand said universities are contacting their PhD students to see who needs to enter the country to complete their studies.

　　He revealed that there are not too many doctoral students who have registered, hold a valid student visa and plan to study in New Zealand this year.

　　"The number is very small, about three to four hundred people. We are still looking at whether the initial 250 places can be filled."

　　He said it will take until the beginning of next month to know how many people want to go to New Zealand.

　　"We only know that there are currently about 5,000 students studying offshore. We can't allow everyone to enter the country. The government needs to open a small opening first, and it seems reasonable for PhD students to enter the country first. We also hope to enter the country as soon as possible The scope extends to other people."

　　He also realized that cost would be a problem for students, and the school plans to lend a hand.

　　"There are some additional costs, such as isolation fees. The government will levy isolation fees for each student. The university will also make a little contribution. The university intends to pay half the isolation fee for this batch of students entering the country."

　　An international student from the University of Auckland believes that the scope of entry should be expanded in the future, and priority should be given to countries with lower infection rates.

　　"From the perspective of public health and safety, I hope that students in low-risk areas will be given priority, depending on the degree of prevention and control in each country and region."

　　He also believes that, despite holding a temporary visa, people who usually reside in New Zealand and leave the country before March 19 should be exempted from the quarantine fee.

　　He said that similarly, students who leave before this time should also be exempted from the isolation fee.
