Receiving a Student Visa on Lunar New Year’s Eve (29 Tết): A Journey That Wasn’t Smooth & A Story Finally Told
Thứ Ba - 03/03/2026
The study abroad journey is not always smooth. For many young people, initial setbacks can become significant psychological barriers. The story of Hoang Quang Huy – a new Master of Marketing student at Auckland University of Technology (AUT), New Zealand – who received his student visa on the afternoon of Lunar New Year’s Eve 2026 – proves one thing: never give up, and most importantly, find the right advisor to guide and accompany you.
A Dream Temporarily Interrupted
Huy once had a solid plan to study in Australia for the July 2025 intake – with a strong academic background, stable financial support, and family members there for confidence. However, he was quite shocked when his visa application was refused.
Not Giving Up
Concerned for her son, Huy’s mother actively searched for solutions. In October 2025, the family came to Duc Anh EduConnect through a former Duc Anh parent, hoping to reapply for an Australian student visa.
After carefully assessing the challenges of the market and reviewing the previously submitted Australian visa application, Ms. Hang, a senior consultant at Duc Anh, proposed a strategic solution: redirect the study destination to New Zealand – succeed academically – and return to Australia at any time in the future.
“After Ms. Hang’s thorough consultation, I realized the new plan was more reasonable, and living and studying conditions in New Zealand are much more convenient,” Huy shared.
Regarding this turning point, Ms. Thu Ha – Huy’s mother – affirmed:
“Ms. Hang’s advice about studying in New Zealand was truly convincing and opened up a more feasible direction for my son’s study abroad journey.”
The Difference: Professionalism & Close Support
What made Huy’s family fully trust and stay with Duc Anh was the difference in how the application was handled. It wasn’t just about submitting documents; it was about building a well-structured strategy.
Ms. Thu Ha shared:
“The close guidance, encouragement, and detailed support from Ms. Hang and Ms. Thanh at every stage of the application process, as well as their solutions to each challenge, gave our family complete peace of mind and confidence.”
A “New Year’s Gift” & The Journey to Auckland
Only two weeks after submission, the family’s joy burst out when the student visa was granted on the 29th day of Lunar New Year.
For Huy, it was an unforgettable memory – like receiving an invaluable gift right on New Year’s Eve.
For the family, it was a sense of relief knowing he could start his intake right after Lunar New Year as planned. The door to studying abroad officially opened thanks to perseverance and the right direction.
After completing the formalities, the family quickly arranged flights and accommodation. Huy has now safely arrived in Auckland and is ready for his new academic journey.
A Message from Auckland
Looking back, Huy summarizes his experience with Duc Anh in three words:
“Reliable – Attentive – Effective”
He also shared a message for students planning to study abroad but feeling anxious about their applications:
“You should approach leading education consultants for professional guidance and thorough preparation, so you don’t have to worry at all. I will definitely recommend Duc Anh to my friends and anyone planning to study abroad.”
From a parent’s perspective, after witnessing her son achieve his dream, Ms. Thu Ha shared with other parents:
“Contact Duc Anh EduConnect to turn your child’s study abroad dream into reality. Their team is truly professional and dedicated.”
