Post-Study Work Rights:
There are two types of post-study visas available – the open visa and the employer-assisted visa. The first visa gives students a chance to find a job within 12 months of completing their programme. It is like an extended visa. The employer-assisted visa helps students to stay and gain work experience from two to three years. Students can then apply for a New Zealand resident visa under the Skilled Migrant category.
If you wish to stay in New Zealand and work after you have finished your studies, you will need the right visa.
International students who have achieved a New Zealand qualification may be allowed to gain experience in work related to their studies.
Depending on what you study, you may be able to work in New Zealand for up to four years, and possibly even gain residence.
First you need to apply for a visa and have it approved. The study to work pathway has two steps:
Post-study work visa (open).This visa gives you up to 12 months to get a job in a field related to your studies. While you are looking for a job in your field you are allowed to work in any job to support yourself.
Post-study work visa (employer assisted).This visa lets you stay in New Zealand to gain work experience for a further two years (or three years if work experience is required as part of a professional registration). This visa relates to a specific job with a specific employer.
After your post-study work visa (employer assisted) you may qualify for a New Zealand resident visa under the Skilled Migrant Category. If your work is in an occupation that has skill shortages, this improves your chances of being allowed to stay, either with work visas or residence.
