New Zealand
General Work Visa

The New Zealand Essential Skills Work Policy enables New Zealand employers to recruit workers from overseas to fill skills shortages that cannot be met within New Zealand.

A New Zealand Work Visa enables you to work in New Zealand for up to three years for the company that sponsors you. Visa First can organise your NZ Work Visa in just three weeks depending on your application.

To apply for a New Zealand Work Visa you will need a job offer from an approved New Zealand employer. Your job offer must be:

• in an occupation on one of the Essential Skills in Demand Lists and you must have the skills and experience to fill the position, or
• from an employer who has a current approval in principle from New Zealand Immigration Authorites for your recruitment, or
• New Zealand Immigration Authorites are satisfied there are no suitable New Zealanders available, or no New Zealanders readily able to be trained to do the job.
