Where to find vacancies, prepare a CV and check the employer, your work rights and offer conditions.
Check your work rights first, then search for jobs that match your experience. If you need AEWV, the offer must come from an accredited employer and meet INZ requirements. Family and student visas have separate conditions; a savings reserve is not work permission.
IT vacancies and experience: CV, portfolio, English, pay, work rights and a separate SMC assessment.
For AEWV, check accreditation, job check and role requirements. A work visa is temporary and does not guarantee residence.
Choose a city and suburb around suitable jobs, visa conditions, housing, transport and household services.
Check an offer’s employer, agreement, hours, pay, English requirements, visa and lawful start date.
Assess a job offer alongside the employment agreement and an eligible visa. Check the employer, duties, pay, hours, location and permission to start work. An offer is neither an issued visa nor a guarantee of residence.
AEWV English evidence, course admission and employer expectations: IELTS 4 for levels 3-5 and separate study conditions.
Practise explaining your responsibilities, project results and reasons for changing jobs. Prepare questions about hours, pay and the employer’s expectations.
Plan an eligible visa, evidence, expenses, work, housing and the first weeks after arrival.
Compare suitable jobs, housing and the journey to work in the chosen city. Separate flights, temporary accommodation, tenancy payments, monthly expenses and savings.
Wellington work: vacancies, citizenship and clearance, pay, Metlink, housing and visa conditions.
Compare jobs.govt.nz, employer sites and major job boards. Record duties, experience, gross pay and work-rights conditions.
How work permission differs from residence: three SMC pathways, the age limit and checks on experience and pay.
AEWV requires an eligible offer from an accredited employer, suitable skills and the INZ conditions. It is tied to the approved job; changing employer, role or location may need further permission.
Prepare work examples, questions about duties and pay, English communication, work status and the next stage.
A reserve formula with clear assumptions: monthly expenses, time without income, setup costs, refundable bonds and contingency.
One adult plans Auckland, has a job offer and chosen housing, and wants three months of cover. With an assumed monthly budget of NZ$3,700, the recurring reserve is 3 × NZ$3,700 = NZ$11,100.
Four sourced occupations: software developer, registered nurse, electrician and secondary-school teacher, plus a tax, ACC and household budget example.
An employer scale, an official occupation estimate and a job advertisement are different measures. Check duties, hours, location, experience, registration and included allowances.
