New Zealand Work Visa Application: Fill & Download for Free

Thanks for the question.A work Visa to New Zealand has a process. This process means you need to clarify what type of job you fit into. Low skilled, menial jobs have no chance.The Skills shortage List of the New Zealand Immigration website suggest what skills are currently in need. If you find your trade, qualifications and experience listed on this list then your chances grow quickly.You will need all your documents in original attested by an authority to accompany your Work Visa application. There will be a fee which must accompany this application.If you have not done any research and not secured an appointment letter your chances diminish considerably.Work visas for short seasonal jobs are available but that too needs to have a secure offer. Before you get that job you will need to show how you will survive in the meantime. Accomodation, food and travel are normal expenses. You will also need return tickets and insurance both medical and travel.In most cases there is an interview. Be prepared.If you are a skilled and qualified professional there will be professional bodies through which you gain registration to continue your application. Most often qualifications are assessed by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority. YOu need to attach this assessment to your application.Give yourself considerable time to get this paperwork and interview sorted out.Until then I wish you good luck.I am not an authority on any immigration issues and you would be wise to contact an agent or the authority directly to get first hand information.Good Luck. Stay focused on your goal.

Let me share my experience with you. I am a Computer engineer having total of 4.7 years of Software Development experience in India. I started to search job in US/Europe 1.5 years back. I was very naive as I was not very sure regarding this and started to browse web to find out ways to search jobs in US/Europe. After an elaborate research (to what I could do) below were the options for me:1] Long Term Onsite from Indian Company -> (Didn't had this option in my company)2] Secure a job (Employer) in US/Europe and apply for work permit for that country by showing offer letter to their respective visa consulate -> (Work visa requires JOB offer and employers were NOT ready to give jobs without VISA so this is a loop.)3] To mitigate problems as per option 2 apply for a Permanent Residency for a country and then search Job there. But this options was not available for US and many good European countries. Moreover this option still requires (Mostly) you to travel to country for which you have secured PR (Australia, Canada have PR options under skilled labourer without even having a JOB so that employer can take interest in your profile as they wont have to apply for your visa) and then search job there on your own cost which is still not guaranteed (I have read a lot of posts that even after getting PR people were struggling to find a good job but again there could be exceptions. In life you have to take risks if it is your priority).4] Join some consultancy which will help you in your job search and can fetch you few interview calls from the country you are interested in -> (My personal opinion is don't fall for it. All they are interested in is your money. Although I didn't joined any consultancy ---thank god :)---- but I did talked to many of them and I was not very convinced)5] Do a master's course (or a course which is relevant to your field) in that country so that you can get entry in that country through student visa, complete course and land to a job through campus interview (or any other opportunities). As you would be in hub you will come to know many opportunities and ways out -> (This option is good/Safe and time saving. It is an investment both in terms of money and exam preparations but again if its your priority then it is a very promising. )6] Apply on your own and keep on doing it till you find a good job.After analysing all my options I decided to go ahead with Option 6 and started to apply on my own. To be honest getting output from this option was least guaranteed and the time it could take was also not sure. Through my job search of 1.5 years I applied to US/Europe/Australia/Canada/New Zealand through Linkedin, different job searching websites (Linked was by far most useful).Most of the time I never used to get reply and for the ones which I got it was a reject stating that I did not have work visa for their country and so my application is rejected without even taking an interview. Many of the replies which I got from different European countries used to be in their local language and I used to translate it to english only to find that those also are rejected :( stating same reason.In short I got in all 51 rejects in 1.5 years world wide without even getting one interview call because I did not have work visa for those country and no one was ready to sponsor my visa as I was not residing (Not even student)/Know language of their country.Till this time I lost all my hope until I finally got one interview call from a German company (I applied sometime back through linkedin) and I knew this was my only chance. Luckily, everything went good and I finally got offer letter from their side which eventually fetched me German Work Visa as well.When I look back at the time I spent (luckly it was just 1.5 years or for some it could be ohhh 1.5 years based on your patience) I think that had i not got this one opportunity which I badly wanted then what options did I had? and the answer was "Hope".If I were to suggest anything to anyone based on my experience then here is my take -- if someone is really serious about getting a job in US/Europe etc. and have some budget then Option 5 (Doing a master's course) is their best bet which is pretty much guaranteed and timely as well. Consider this as an investment whose output is very fruitful.The only reason why I am shying away from endorsing option 6 is because it requires something else apart your capabilities, it requires luck, luck to get interview calls, luck to get other calls if you don't do good in any interview, which is not in your hand and is something which can happen inside a day or a month or a year as I said it is a hope.Pick the option which suits you and go for it.Apologies for a very long answer but I thought this elaboration was required.Hope it helps.All tha very best :)
