  • written offer of employment which includes a note stating whether or not occupational registration is required by law for you to take up this position
  • a full job description
  • an employment agreement entered into by the employer and you stating:
    • the terms of employment
    • the hours of work
    • the period during which employment may begin.

 

And, if your occupation requires to be registered in New Zealand, we’ll also want to see evidence of your occupational registration here.  This could be full or provisional registration depending on your occupation.

 

Additional evidence may include:

 

  • any information requested by the New Zealand Immigration Service

  • information from the employer or recruitment agency

 

Note:
The employment agreement doesn’t need to be supplied until after your application has been approved in principle.
