When we assess your proposal We look at all the information you have provided from the criteria above.

If granted, approval will be valid for 4 years. INZ will revoke approval where it considers that promoter’s conduct has created an unacceptable risk to the integrity of New Zealand's immigration or employment laws or policies.
Once you have been granted approval you need to support your performers and immediate support staff visa applications by providing applicants with a letter of support.
We process their visa applications as soon as we can.
Your performer and immediate support staff will need to complete a ‘Visitor Visa’ application unless they are from a visa waiver country in which case they may be granted a visitor visa and entry permission on arrival.
