Working temporarily in New Zealand
A temporary work visa and/or permit may be granted to candidates if they:
- have a job offer from a New Zealand employer
- need to come to New Zealand to work for a specific purpose or event
- are a student or trainee who wants to work in New Zealand
- want to join their partner in New Zealand and work.
Certain kinds of temporary work in New Zealand do not require a work visa or permit, for example visits for business negotiations, short-term sales trips, work for official trade missions recognised by the New Zealand government, or work for overseas governments. In these cases, it is possible that a visitor visa or permit will suffice.
All applicants for a temporary work visa or permit must:
- be in good health and of good character
- have a passport that is valid for at least three months past the date they are to leave New Zealand
- be genuine in wanting to work in New Zealand
- have the right visa for their visit
- work in New Zealand in line with the conditions specified in the work permit
- obey New Zealand's laws
- stay in New Zealand only for the time allowed by the work permit
