Under normal circumstances, New Zealand students who have obtained 5/7 or above education or degree in New Zealand can get an open work visa for one year after graduation. During the validity period of 12 months, visa holders can choose any work direction, and they can work first to make a living. However, during this period, you should try your best to find a job in the related field of this major, so as to get a longer work visa for New Zealand.

Three-year work visas are not common, mainly because some very professional jobs require long-term work experience to gain relevant "academic experience", which is also related to the specific work requirements of employers.

If you find a job related to your major within the validity period of the open work visa, and the employer is willing to sponsor the applicant, the Immigration Bureau will grant the applicant a two-year or even three-year work visa (non-open work visa, but you need to support the applicant's employer to work continuously to make the work visa valid).
