Overseas Candidates

To be eligible to work in New Zealand, you must be a New Zealand or Australian citizen, have permanent residence or have a valid work permit for NZ. If you already meet one of these criteria, then you are welcome to apply for any job advertised on this web site.

For candidates who do not meet the above requirements, your chances of working in New Zealand will depend upon whether you have specialist in demand skills that cannot be found in the local job market. Details on securing relevant visas/permits are available from the New Zealand Immigration Department.
