New Zealand has launched a new visa for the current work and critical purpose visitor visa holders.

New Zealand has announced a new one-off residence visa pathway for some temporary work visa holders currently in New Zealand.

“Some critical purpose visa holders arriving in New Zealand between 30 September 2021 and 31 July 2022 on long-term visas may also be eligible for this new Visa. Partners and dependents can be included as part of these residence applications,” it said.

All applications must be submitted by 31 July 2022.
