Working holidays, work experience or simply sampling life in another country, are all reasons people come to New Zealand to work temporarily. We welcome people wanting to work here for a short time as in many cases they bring the skills we need and can increase our capability as a workforce.
You can apply for a Temporary Work Permit if you:
- Have an offer of a job from a New zealand employer and are skilled in an occupation that’s in demand here.
- Want to work here temporarily for a particular purpose or event, such as a tournament, a show or for certain professional reasons.
- Are a student or trainee wanting to gain work experience in New Zealand.
- Are planning to work temporarily while joining your partner here.
