New Zealand Essential Skills Work Visa
The Essential Skills Work Visa is a temporary work visa for foreign nationals that allows them to live and work in New Zealand for a specified period of time. The visa is intended for workers whose skills are considered essential for a particular industry or sector and whose employment will support economic growth in New Zealand. The process for applying for this visa involves the employer submitting a job offer, and the individual then submitting a formal visa application. The visa holder must remain employed by the sponsoring employer while they hold the visa and can apply for extension of the visa or switch to a resident visa when they meet the eligibility criteria.
Both Permanent and Temporary Employer Nomination Visa for Australia and New Zealand have language requirement, pass the health and character assessments, and the individuals must meet all other visa requirements set out by the respective governments
