Information on Immigration and Visas

Temporary Visas
A number of temporary visas are also available:

Work visa
If you are offered a job that cannot be filled by a New Zealander and the New Zealand employer is willing to "sponsor" you, then it may be possible for you to apply for a work visa. The visa is issued for the duration of the employment contract or 3 years, whichever comes first.

Working Holiday visa
Citizens of certain countries who are aged between 18yrs and 30yrs may consider obtaining Working Holiday Visa. This visa enables you to work and travel for 1 year (2 yrs for citizens of the United Kingdom) but work must be restricted to casual positions as permanent employment is not permitted.

If you are enrolled into a qualifying course at an New Zealand tertiary institution, you can apply for a student visa. This visa allows you to study and to work up to 20 hours per week.

In New Zealand, you can study English in a language school, study post-graduate courses in one of New Zealand's many universities, or take courses in a polytechnic, an institute of technology, or a college of education.

New Zealand offers:

• a beautiful natural environment for study and relaxation
• a safe learning environment
• excellent educational programmes
• support services for international students
• high quality qualifications

You don't need a visa or permit if you're:

• a New Zealand citizen or you hold a New Zealand residence permit
• an Australian citizen, or Australian resident who holds a current permanent resident return visa.
