Depending on who you work for; Asplundh and Treescape both have an agreement with immigration that allows them to get around most of the requirements for a work visa due to the skills shortage. Maybe some other companies too.

You can cross credit your qualifications you currently have against a NZ recognised qualification. You may have to do some extra credits you may not.

The more experience the better but, as I say to everyone else that asks about work in NZ; check on http://www.trademe.co.nz or seek. Heaps of jobs on there for arborists and most will outline exactly what qualifications, experience etc. they require.
