FAQ
What is an open work permit?
The visa is not job-specific, so applicants are required to meet similar requirements as applicants for other types of job visas. These include not needing the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an offer letter from an employer who has paid the compliance fee. However not everyone is eligible for the open work permit visa.
Who is eligible for the open-work permit?
- Applicants for PR visa
- Dependent family members of these applicants
- Spouses of skilled worker residents
- Spouses of foreign students
- Foreign nationals currently in New Zealand whose work permit will soon expire and have applied for permanent residence
- Refugees, protected persons, and their relatives
- Participants in working holiday programs
- International students who completed their post- secondary education in Canada
Can I stay in New Zealand permanently?
To be able to stay on in New Zealand on a permanent basis after entering the country on a New Zealand work permit, the individual must qualify under any of the permanent resident categories available.
For example, the Express Entry system, PNP, Agri-Food Pilot, Atlantic Immigration Pilot etc.
What do I do if my New Zealand work permit has a mistake?
The New Zealand work permit is to be printed after the border services officer has checked the documentation, confirming that you can enter New Zealand.
In case of any mistake on the printed work permit, ask the border services office concerned.
