L1 Objective

The objective of New Zealand's limited visa instructions is to facilitate the entry of visitors, students, and workers who seek to enter New Zealand temporarily for an express purpose only, and:

1. who would not otherwise be accepted for temporary entry because of a risk that they might remain in New Zealand after their temporary visa expires; or
2. who choose the limited visa as their preferred method of entry; or
3. who have been offered employment to undertake seasonal work in the horticulture or viticulture industry for a Recognised Seasonal Employer under the Recognised Seasonal Employer instructions (see WH1).

Note: Applications for limited visas for work may only be considered if the applicant has an offer of employment from a Recognised Seasonal Employer. In such cases Limited Entry instructions (including WH1.15 Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Limited Entry (LE) Instructions - Visas) apply.
