Ok thanks bro
But is thr no other to go about this stuff? Am about to pay for my ticket, hence my curiosity, so that if it doesn't worth it, I can just move on


Or what if I pick up a trade any trade for like 2 months except construction that has to do with height won't I see any company to sponsor my work visa?

oh do u have ur visa already??

murphy02:
But I can't work on visiting visa, or what will be my status while doing the 3 months job

No u can’t.....I heard most people there are those who came to NZ on working holiday visa which I don’t think Naija qualifies for.

And also those who are running out on their previous work visa but still have some months on the visa to pass the company probation period which is generally 3 months or more in NZ

murphy02:
Thank you GOD BLESS YOU

Please help check trades i can learn with ($1000USD) Personally am considering trades like mechanic, earth moving equipments, construction vehicles since it falls under long term skill requirements, so i can use the certificate to look for job or work with the same company.

i just sent you a PM kindly approve, please i have some vital info i want to ask.....pls

Did ask about the stuff.... but unfortunately they Said u need to have worked for them for nothing less than 3 months before they can help with sponsorship.

murphy02:
Is it not possible to go through an apprentice on a trade, like mechanic, then from there obtain there trade certificate?
Like how much do they charge for such?

I really like the way u think and it really shows how determined u are and willing to go...
However I don’t have much info on this and u can google it (I know as an apprentice here, you still get paid though not much). and also make research on farms, factories that employ seasonal workers or essentials skill accredited factories. Doesn’t have to be Auckland.

I will get info about a company in South Island for u. I know they do but I’m not sure what the criteria is, or if they employ from oversea. Then u can research better.

solin:
Hmm! That's seriously serious. What if ones qualification falls within the skill shortage area? Can one get an employer to file for him?

Is not.... You looking at it from the perspective of what They call factory job at home.....You will earn a very decent life with this...... probably earn more than some people in the offices depending on how much time u put into it and your strength.... sorry I can’t go further on this

Kongi123:
Hmmmm, my people are planning to work in new Zealand with visiting visa anyway I wish you best of luck don't just go roast like fried chicken

I have advised this before that the worst visa to come to NZ with, with hope of settling down is a visitor visa.... but I won’t discourage anyone who already made up their mind probably because of the news on the internet......Things u read online are different from what is really happening sometimes

I will rather go to a country with larger population than NZ and with larger population of my race or illegal immigrants or where I can easily seek asylum than NZ . NZ is a small country with population of less than 5M and things are not so easy to shortcut.

Taofeekdboy:
I am sorry to ask this question bro, you said your wife is from New Zealand, can’t she help you as a citizen to help you secure a good job, just asking from my own perspective.

I’m only here to give few people some idea.... pls I won’t entertain any question about my personal life and with questions like this I might close the thread...sorry

solin:
@Femijck what's the decision NZQA of Nigeria qualification? Does it meet with nz educational requirements?

I don’t know, I suggest u check their website.
There are 2 guys we do same physical job together who have PhD from Egypt and Kenya and another lady with 3 M.Sc from an Africa country doing cleaning job. And few Nigerians I know with B.Sc, including myself are doing factory job if that tells you something....but I stand to be corrected by those who know more.
Best is to get another qualification from here.

solin:
Please @Femijck kindly share some adorable pictures of NZ. People, places and some culture shock.

ok I will when I’ve got the time to take some

murphy02:
Korea air stopped because Nigerians were using the opportunity to enter south Korea and disappear, not getting to their final destination NZ.

I don’t think South Korea is anyway better than NZ. Or are they running away because they could no longer handle the long flight.
If u could get NZ visa, then SK visa shouldn’t be impossible.

murphy02:
What is host ID I don't have that oooo

I was invited by my partner.... so her passport data page or any photo ID

solin:
Good to know that your wife is a kiwi.

When is the best time to arrive NZ with regards to employment?

You can arrive anytime but Summer is Advisable as winter will freeze your ass if u are not use to it.... There will always be jobs round the year
I can’t really remember the months but maybe anytime from October or late September. Just remember when US is in winter, we NZ is summer....just opposite .. It’s getting a little warmer now.

solin:
Well, according to my research you can request for a stamp on your passport with a cost if that's what you're experiencing.

with that I’m not sure as INZ is switching to e-visa for all temporary visas... but that should not be any problem.... I met an Indian guy in Honk long during my stopover and he had student e-visa. We both arrived in Auckland and I can’t remember him having any issues. E- visa is INZ policy and not yours. The Airline will confirm the visa.

murphy02:
Hello
please which airline is currently lifting Nigerians with an evisa from lagos to NZ, i was told the airlines dont accept Nigerians going to NZ with a cable visas anymore, because of transit issues, please did anyone here travel to NZ recently ? May know the airline used?

Thanks

book South Africa Airways....Route it through Johannesburg and Honk Kong... Then u don’t need any transit visa..... any other route,you might need one.... A guy I met here on Nland help me out then and was even cheaper.

But for no reason I was called out after checking in and they ask for my host ID before allowing me proceed....Don’t know if it will be different if I couldn’t provide that.

iwanvisityankee:
Hi bro, pls if you don’t mind, can you shed more light about migrating via marriage route, Thanks

sorry I don’t know much about that.

solin:
Interesting!!!
Now you're giving out classified information.

My next questions are
How did you process your work permit? Yourself or through agent?
What are the documents/requirements involved?

How long does it take to get it?

Thanks in advance.

Did everything myself but my wife is from NZ.

solin:
Yes, it's okay to go on a visit visa. Research shows that 70% of jobs are awarded to potential employees in NZ. Give it a shot bro since you know someone who can provide you with an accommodation and can put you through on how to get top jobs quickly.
Get your statement of account and file your application as soon as possible.

When I came to NZ on a 9 month partnership visa, while I was waiting to get my work visa. I tried my best possible to get an under table job but couldn’t. The African community in my area tried their best too but nobody listened because it’s illegsl and dangerous for them too.... only an accredited employer can sponsor a potential employee on an essential skill. But before then, they have to prove to INZ that they have advertised the position severally and couldn’t find a local for the position.

If I wasn’t in Auckland, maybe I would have find a fruit picking job on the farms Even though they will pay u less and sometimes don’t pay u as they believe h can’t report them

Anyway I finally met a local business owner who was ready to sponsor after I worked for 10hrs without pay to prove myself. But luckily for me, my long awaited work permit came two days later. And I never return to him because it was a very hard landscaping job.

So what I’m trying to say is that the duration of ur visit visa also matters because they can only sponsor u while u have a valid visa.
It’s all depends on how much people u can connect with especially locals and willing to tell somebody that knows somebody.

African don’t own a lot of businesses here so it’s not as easy for blacks to connect with a potential employer as it may be for Indians and Asians that had flooded the country and businesses.

But since accomodation is sure from a friend, then u are safe on that side as u will have to cough out at least $180 weekly on rent and bills as a flat mate.

solin:
Thank you for your assistance.

The city is Auckland.

Coming with a student visa could be expensive.

However, I have been able to read through inz web that one could look for job on a visit visa just like you pointed out. Though getting an employer might be difficult and is also possible with the right CV and skill set.


Your encouragement would also go a long way in helping would be immigrants like us here in Nigeria.

Though I made some research about that such as the chambers of commerce, CBD etc, but you're there to guide us on how to get job quickly on a visit visa. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

CBD is good but I don’t know much about accomodation as most peeps around are student sharing flat. It’s more of a business and office area. And d common jobs around there is sales and construction as a lot of construction is going on there... U might be lucky to find something around there. Factories are more to the south and west of Auckland to my best of knowledge. And accomodation is a bit easier and cheaper in d suburb than in d city...u can easily connect CBD by train and buses...usually 5-6$.

How many months is ur visa?

klbakare:
@ Femijck please how much do you think will be OK to keep in my account for proof of funds? Thanks in anticipation for prompt response.
P.S : the INZ said a thousand NZD is required for travellers who have not secured accommodation before travelling. Cheapest return ticket from naija to new Zealand is about 850k in naira. Then I need health insurance. Do I need to put all this money in my account before submitting statement? The total sum of the said money is going to around 2m ooo assuming am travelling for 3 months.

that’s enough as long as u can prove that d fund is available for ur use.... but if u can build it higher to be on d safer side....

Better to have it in ur account but not deposited in a lump sum..... u can read about this on other thread

solin:
My question is in terms of getting an affordable accommodation upon arrival NZ.

How to secure a job in NZ.

Considering that the person entered NZ with a Visit Visa.

Many thanks.

firstly, which city are u looking to come to. I need to know this as accomodation and job differs.

About getting a job while on a visit visa , it’s not impossible as I believe not everybody in NZ have the right visa to be here or work legally... but u have to sort that out yourself...... but if u are very lucky to get a company that can sponsor u on an essential work visa. Which means ur visa depends on d job. And u can only work with that company.

Have in mind, that no agency will sponsor u. So it has to be directly with the company.... which is not impossible but might be difficult.... but everything is networking.

But I will advise u to rather come on a student visa, as this will allow u to work 20hrs a week and also give u a couple of post study work visa and u can go from there.
Visit or tourist visa is d worst anybody can travel with if u looking to settle down. Except u have someone on ground to help u

ikelords:
Everything spent is not up to 250k.. Medicals insurance and visa fee.. Where the agent makes his money is from the agreement u sign to remit 20% of your salary to them every month... You won't be paid anything less than 3k USD every month .. U agreement of 20% ends after one year..

becareful with d information u share bro.... what kind of job do u intend to do to get 3k USD as a JJC??
whats your profession. 3k USD is equal about. 5k NZD at the moment. I dont think u can make that doing menial job after tax....dont be sold a false dream. NZ is great with grest life style but it comes with a price

Mosesoly:
Egbon FM, i stumbled across your thread, thanks for the expose, i am still interested in knowing one or two things, it's your boy Yinka that we lived in the same hoste
l back then in school... Thanks for the tips, may God continue to bless your hustle

Yinka u crazy..... how do u know it's me......by the way text ur contact to my Nigeria number if u still have it or drop ur email and I will get back to u.

how have u been??

can't believe u guys kept this thread alive... im sorry I had even forgotten about this account but I will try and respond to some of ur question

jjbest123:
Some how.... The is more story to her deportation,ordinary weaves can't get her deported.

It wasn't the weaves, but the intention behind it..... She took too many and the officer believed she's coming to do business and not to school as that wasn't unusual with people coming in with student visa and never attend a class.....she could have claimed it was for her personal use and the worst that could have happened in that case was impounding those weaves and allowing her in.

Please I wanna compare the price of buying this car in Nigeria to the cost of sending it. Pleas can anyone help with the current price of a clean one at the moment......preferably lagos price.

Thanks

How much was that?

After reviewing some phone on nairaland, I think Tecno spark will be a good one for the intended purpose....pls can I get some first hand experience with this phone, and if you would recommend any better one around 30k.my budget is a bit flexible as Im keen on getting a good one.....It's just a gift to a younger brother and also the current price of this phone in Lagos and sango ota area will be highly appreciated.... cheers

Dnevasaynevaguy:
Whats the diference between crime and terrorism?
Answer:None
Terrorism is a crime

Terrorism :- The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

Crime:- An action or omission which constitutes an offence and is punishable by law.

Have you seen U.S police fighting terrorist in Syria or Iraq?


I hope u could figure out the difference.

Do u know the difference between "CRIME" and "TERRORISM"?
Everyday, people cry to see Nigerians doing the right thing, and when u see one ,u don't appreciate.......asking a police to burst terrorists,
How naive
