Can I work?

You can undertake certain business activities while in New Zealand on a visitor visa. However, if you want to work here and have a job offer from a New Zealand business that you wish to take up, you need to apply for a work visa. You must not begin working until we confirm that you have been granted the work visa. Learn about working in New Zealand.
