Immigration New Zealand has a number of work visa categories to welcome skilled migrants from any country.

Work visa categories we assist with include:

Essential skills - Employers who are not successful in finding New Zealanders fit for the positions they offer usually recruit migrant workers. Your employer can help you apply for an Essential Skills work visa.

Work to residence - This type of visa allows you to work in New Zealand for a particular period and then apply for a resident visa afterwards.

Study to work - This type of visa is ideal for students who completed their studies in New Zealand and want to stay and work in the country.

Work visa under partnership - You can apply for this type of visa if your partner is a New Zealand citizen or resident. To qualify, you should meet the requirements set by Immigration New Zealand.

Silver fern work visa - This type of visa allows skilled people to enter and work in New Zealand for a particular length of time.

Work visa under international/humanitarian grounds - This visa is for you if you are going to work in New Zealand under working holiday schemes.

Horticulture/viticulture seasonal work visa - You can apply for this visa if your employer offers a temporary or seasonal work in the horticulture or viticulture industry.
