New Zealand - flag New Zealand - Work Skills & Ancestry - Skilled Visa (Job Offer)

The purpose of New Zealand’s work visa and permit policy is to contribute to the development of the country’s industry and economy by attracting skilled migrants through employer sponsorship, whether seasonal or long-term.

Candidates for the Skilled Visa (based on a Job Offer) will need to have arranged employment in New Zealand and should apply for and obtain a work visa prior to arrival. The work visa processing time is much quicker than the skilled migration category. A work visa will allow you to travel to New Zealand and your work permit will be issued once you arrive. The visas are multiple-entry, and allow you to work in New Zealand for 2 years, after which you may apply for residency.

If you have an offer of employment from an accredited employer in New Zealand, you can apply for a work visa or permit for up to 30 months under the Talent (Accredited Employers) Work Policy. When you have worked for an accredited employer for two years you can apply for residence. The job offer must be for at least 24 months.

Another option is for those applicants who have qualifications and experience in an occupation that appears on the LTSS List for New Zealand. It allows employers to offer skilled overseas workers employment. The policy provides for a temporary multiple-entry 30 month work visa/permit which can lead to permanent residency.

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
