I WOULD LIKE TO HV THE INFORMATION ABT WORK VISA
IN NEW ZEALAND.
Answer:
Thank you for contacting Marshall Bird & Curtis.
The NZ Immigration Service (NZIS) offers several different forms of work permit / visa options and so it is difficult to know where to begin in order to give you the information you are looking for. In a nutshell, the main options are as follows:-
Job Search Visa - If your certification matches those on the NZIS occupational shortage list and if you are within 5 points of the pass mark which presently stands at 29, then you may apply for a job search visa to be issued. This visa will enable to to come to NZ for the purpose of finding employment. Once you have a relevant job offer, a work permit will be issued.
Standard Work Permit - This will be issued by NZIS if they believe there is good reason to show why a given post should be offered to an immigrant as opposed to a resident / citizen of NZ. The prospective employer will need to prove that he has canvassed / advertised the post and that the selected immigrant for the post is the best choice.
Long Term Business Visa - involves your purchase of a company in NZ under which you will then be employed. The performance of the business is assessed and after a period not less than 2 years, application to NZIS may be made for the granting of permanent residence.
There are other permit / visa mechanisms, however, these are the most common. Please visit http://www.immigration.govt.nz/ for additional information.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any additional information.
Kind regards
