Expert Work Visa Guidance

Work Visa Pathways to Contribute to New Zealand

Immigration New Zealand grants work visas to support the development of New Zealand’s human capability base. Work visas facilitate access for New Zealand employers and industries to global skills, experience, and specialist knowledge. 
 

Work visas may be granted under the Skilled, Family, and Humanitarian streams. The Skilled and Family streams include multiple visa categories, including pathways designed for highly skilled workers and individuals employed by accredited employers, many of which lead to residence.
