Entertainment Promoters Approval
We work with entertainment promoters to simplify the visa application process. Performers and direct support staff of short-term live entertainment acts promoted by an ‘approved promoter’ can enter New Zealand as visitors.
Overview
|
Valid for 4 years |
With this option employers can
- Employ overseas performers and immediate support staff to perform and work here on a visitor visa without having to apply for a work visa. They will still need to meet all the requirements of a visitor visa.
Things to note
- You will need to provide evidence the promoter has been established for at least 3 years.
- You will need to show that you have promoted international acts in New Zealand in the past 3 years.
- You will need to have a history of compliance with immigration requirements.
