Can anyone tell me how long it would take once a student visa is applied for? We're trying to work out timings for handing in notice, selling house etc....if push came to shove, could we enter NZ on visitors visa and wait for student visa to come through?

For University students it only takes a few weeks (more during periods of rush such as right before the semesters start). I'm not sure how long it takes for younger students.
