Description:- New Zealand offers a range of work visas. All are temporary, though some can lead to residence.
Essential Skills work visas:-
These visas are meant for temporary stays.
The duration and conditions of the visa depends on the term of your job offer,
your salary and labour market conditions.
Is your job on a skill shortage list?:-
The Essential Skills in Demand Lists are Immigration New Zealandís occupational skill shortage lists.
If you have a job offer in an occupation on one of the lists and your qualifications and
experience match, you can apply for an Essential Skills work visa.
Your employer wonít need to provide evidence of attempting to recruit New Zealanders because
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) reviews the lists regularly and has concluded that employers
are unable to find enough people with these skills, qualifications, and experience in New Zealand.

What if the job is not on a skill shortage list?
Employers who have advertised the job in New Zealand and made genuine but unsuccessful efforts
to find a suitable New Zealand citizen or resident for the position can look to recruit migrant workers.
In this situation, you can apply for an Essential Skills work visa,
and your employer will need to provide supporting information demonstrate their efforts to recruit New Zealanders first.
Will an Essential Skills work visa help if I want to apply for a resident visa?
Essential Skills work visas are intended to fill temporary skill gaps, so they do not lead directly to a residence application.
However, if you have an Essential Skills work visa based on a skilled job,
you may gain enough points to qualify for residence visa under the Skilled Migrant Category.
