WG3 Applications based on offers of employment from employers with approval in principle

  1. New Zealand employers who can establish that there are no New Zealand citizens or residents suitably qualified by training and experience available, or readily able to be trained to do the work, may request approval in principle from the NZIS to temporarily employ non-New Zealand citizen or resident workers.

    Note: No approval in principle application received after 30 September 2007 for the recruitment of workers to plant, maintain, harvest or pack crops in the horticulture or viticulture industries will be approved under this policy. All requests to recruit non-New Zealand citizen or resident workers to plant, maintain, harvest or pack crops in the horticulture or viticulture industries must be made under the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) policy (see WH1) or the Transitioning to Recognised Seasonal Employer (TRSE) policy (see WH3).

  2. Employers should apply to the nearest NZIS branch in New Zealand for approval in principle by submitting the evidence required in WG3.1, before individual applicants apply for work visas.
  3. A fee is payable for a request for approval in principle to employ a non-New Zealand citizen or resident worker.
