TALENT (ACCREDITED EMPLOYERS) WORK VISA (TEMPORARY) TO NEW ZEALAND

The Talent (Accredited Employers) work visa is part of New Zealand’s work-to-residence policy, which gives migrants to the opportunity to work temporarily in New Zealand before they consider applying for residence.

New Zealand is looking for a range of skilled migrants with skills, experience and training, and proficiency in English to fill current shortages of skilled work workers.

Applicants with a job offer from a New Zealand accredited employer may file an application.
