The Transport Work to Residence Visa in New Zealand is a specialized immigration category designed to address skill shortages in the transport industry by attracting and retaining skilled foreign workers. This visa offers a pathway for eligible individuals to initially work in the New Zealand transport sector and then transition to permanent residency.
There are certain criteria to be met when applying for the Transport Work to Residence Visa:
1. Job Offer: Applicants must have a genuine job offer from an Accredited New Zealand employer in the transport sector. The job must be in a skilled occupation that addresses identified skill shortages.
2. Qualifications and Experience: Applicants must possess the qualifications and work experience required for the job offer. These requirements are typically specified by the employer and may include relevant licenses or certifications.
The Transport Work to Residence Visa consists of two key stages:
1. Temporary Work Visa: Initially, successful applicants are granted a temporary work visa that allows them to work in New Zealand for their Accredited employer in the transport industry. This visa is typically valid for 30 months.
2. Residence Visa Application: After working in New Zealand for a specified period (usually 24 months) and meeting certain criteria, applicants can submit an application for a residence visa. This application includes documentation to prove that they have fulfilled the work and employment conditions outlined in their initial job offer.
