Is it okay to travel first and get a tourist visa to find a job?

Theoretically it is possible, but in practice only the one percent is successful. In order to protect the employment of local people, whether New Zealand hires job seekers from overseas with tourist visas is based on the premise that no suitable candidates can be recruited locally. How to determine that no suitable candidates can be recruited locally is extremely complicated to issue this certificate. program.

For example, if an employer wants to publish a recruitment advertisement to prove that it cannot find anyone, it should contact the local employment department and provide labor force data in the local labor market that matches the vacant position, and prove that the local available labor force level is not enough to meet the job vacancy. Moreover, the implementation of the employer certification system in 2022 will be even more difficult.

Fundamentally speaking, any employer who can easily find a local resident or an overseas graduate with a work permit to fill a job vacancy will not go around in a big circle to recruit someone from overseas.

So, if you want to work in New Zealand, you can either study abroad and get a work permit after graduation, or take the investment or entrepreneurial immigration path, or master a special skill.

For example, Chinese national level three chefs can apply for a work permit directly from China if they are guaranteed by a local Chinese restaurant in New Zealand, because for local Chinese restaurants in New Zealand, it will be difficult to recruit Chinese chefs from the local area. It's hard.

For unique occupations such as chefs and martial arts instructors, you can apply for a work permit directly from China as long as you have an employer guarantee in New Zealand. "/zd/ym"
