About this visa Limited Visa
You can visit New Zealand temporarily to achieve an express purpose. Once you’ve achieved your purpose you must leave New Zealand - you can't usually apply for other visas while in New Zealand on a Limited Visa.
With this visa you can
- Come to New Zealand for an express purpose.
Things to note
- The only kind of visa you can apply for while you’re in New Zealand is another Limited Visa – we’ll only grant this if you need more time to carry out your express purpose.
- If you apply for a Visitor Visa or one of our student visas, we’ll sometimes offer you a Limited Visa instead – you’ll have the chance to comment before we grant the visa.
- You can’t work in New Zealand on a Limited Visa, unless it was granted to work for a Recognised Seasonal Employer.
