Temporary Work Visas

Temporary Work Visas in New Zealand are designed for skilled individuals who have a valid job offer, required skills, or specialised expertise needed in the local workforce. These visas help New Zealand businesses fill labour shortages across sectors such as construction, engineering, healthcare, hospitality, and agriculture.

The most common pathway is the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) which requires a job offer from an accredited employer. This visa allows professionals to live and work in New Zealand, with the possibility of future residency pathways.

Temporary Work Visas may also be issued for specific-purpose jobs, seasonal roles, or industry-based shortages. These visas are ideal for individuals seeking international exposure, career advancement, or hands-on experience in a stable and peaceful country.
