Eligibility for the right visa is based on factors such as whether your skills match a shortage in New Zealand, how long you want to stay, and your age, work experience and qualifications.

Tips before applying for a work visa

  • Find out if your job skills are in demand.
  • Provide all information required – incomplete paperwork will cause delays.
  • To holiday in Auckland first to see what our city is like, you might need a visitor visa. However, travellers from more than 50 countries don’t need a visa to stay fewer than three months – check your passport and visa requirements.
  • Not sure of the visa application process? Consider using a licensed immigration advisor.
