If your employer is named on your work visa, then you need to inform us that you’re no longer working for this employer. You'll need to apply for another work visa and must apply for a new visa when you have a job offer and before you start work. In some cases there will be restrictions on who else you can work for. For example, if you were granted a visa because you secured a job with an accredited New Zealand employer, you’ll only be able to remain in New Zealand if you’re working for another accredited employer. Even if you find work with another accredited employer, we’ll still need to approve the arrangement.
If your employer is named on your work visa and you have received a dismissal notice during the 90-day trial period under section 67A of the Employment Relations Act 2000 you may be eligible for a special category visitor visa.
