What are the possibilities of working in New Zealand as a South African?

What visa do i need?I have a diploma in environmental science/conservation and busy working on my business management degree.I think New Zealand has a lot more to offer than South africa?! Any advice would be much appreciated.Thanks.

Best way is work visa, have a skill that NZ is short on, the easiest way to get in. See

If your occupation is on the list and you have the required qualifications and experience, you may be able to get an offer of employment in New Zealand and a work permit. ... and NZ opportunities http://www.immigration.govt.nz/nzopportu...

There is also an EXPO coming up - not sure if there is one in your area but never-less look at http://www.expo-newzealand.com They have recruitment consultants and Immigration are there to answer any questions.

NZ is very multicultural and there are many South Africans living there ..... well, you now have some reading and research to do!

Good Luck

Kia Ora,

You will need to apply for a work visa. The immigration link below has all the information you need, and if not, you can email them from the web link.

There is a list of shortages of occupations or job skills that are also on the site so you can check and see if your qualifications would give you an edge.

NZ is a wonderful place to be working in the environmental sciences. Not so sure about the business management.

I agree NZ would have more to offer than SA, but then again I might just be prejudiced.

New Zealand is a country, not a text book lol!

Make the move ! It's such a nice country

You could always consider working in the mines up here, as its a very profitable job. We have an organisation called DOC which sounds like something that could be in your area!

Good luck! :)

It sounds like a specialist area. You should search the NZ Government website for a job in environmental conservatoin - if you find a job in the area of your qualifications, they may assist you in applying for a NZ visa.
