Work title for visa?!

[Taupotreeman]

Skilled migrant category will require either 5 years experience or a 3 year college certificate such as ND amd possibly both. You can apply for residency under the work to residence category if you fall short in either of the above but you will require sponsorship for at least two years with one company in order to qualify. At the moment I think only Asplundh and Treescape are registered as participating in the work to residency. Failing that, get a 3 year work visa, which will require sponsorship but is easier than applying for residency. Application criteria is not as strict. Once you have the visa you can cross credit your current qualifications and do top up courses to get your ND.

Great info taupo! Very helpful mate thanks a lot! Do you know how long a uk citizen can work for one employer for on a holiday visa by any chance? I've seen it's 3months for other countries but couldn't find anything for UK apart from your employer can request for it to be extended

You can get one and 3 year work visas but not sure you can work on a holiday visa. Best bet is apply for a one year work visa, get a job with an Arb outfit and if you like it and they like you, just extend the visa. If you apply for residency you can stay in the country while your application is assessed. Alternatively, talk to one of the big two, get sponsored from the get go and work from there. Don't try and work if your visa doesn't allow it as you'll screw all chances of visas, residency etc and you'll be hoofed out on the next plane if caught. The NZ immigration website has quite a bit of info. Failing that, it's worth a call to an immigration consultant or NZ house.

I'm not sure your ISA will carry much weight either. It usually needs to be a qualification from a recognised teaching institution that results in a ND, HND or NC and even then it will probably have to be cross credited by the NZQA.

Haha, that happened to me but I preferred NZ so beware, the lure might be too much once you're here.
