Are you in NZ? If yes, please share your experience.

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.

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

femijck:
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.

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

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

Good to know that you're also following. You can share your experience with us.

Mrjoshtower:
Thanks to God here is active again.
Weldone Guys....i greet you all.
I am following peacefully

Thanks for the information.

femijck:
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.

Good to know that your wife is a kiwi.

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

femijck:
Did everything myself but my wife is from NZ.

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

You can ask the questions here to help others. Someone else can also contribute to the question.

shakol91:
you can still hold on to the link for now till you have result, but I will like to ask you some questions in order to get myself prepared. Pls reply my pm

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.

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.

@OP, i have a kiwi friend who is helping me to look for job over there, i met her online few months ago and we have been good friends, though she old enough to be my mama, we are just good friends (nothing attached), accommodation wont be a problem cos her family knows me. i am thinking if it will be ok to go on a visit visa and search for job myself, though my current job i earn nothing less than 300k (outside naija). i need your advise @OP

Thanks for your time.

Visa still in progress.

Do you have website link for agents that can help with accommodation?

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.

femijck:
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

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.

Thank God you are back. We have so many questions to ask. Please make yourself available so you can help with the questions.
Welcome back bro

femijck:
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

Thank you.
Have you applied and have you gotten a feedback?

Kongi123:
3m is enough for you

Please what is the total amount in your statement of account that you used as proof of fund?

Kongi123:
Last year I got New Zealand tourist visa although I base in Abu Dhabi UAE but I afraid to embark on the journey because i don't know anybody in new Zealand and also I don't have any hand work to rely on because any time i check it on their website I do see it like is not possible to change from tourist visa to working visa I still have interest in going to new Zealand if atleast I can see someone to coach on how to survive

It's a good offer. Please go for it. Except for the visa fee and other medical expenses. Don't part with your money.

ikelords:
Femijck: there is an offer someone in lagos linked me up with about getting me a job in new zealand , its a 2 yrs work permit, all I paid for was visa fee , insurance and medicals... While I entered a bond with d company with some % of my pay I will remit to them for a year... Pls kindly shed more light on jobs that pay well in new Zealand and how rewarding is new Zealand . is it worth coming to.?

Thank you for your feedback and response thus far. I'd like to know the cost of affordable accommodation.

femijck:
Well Inz website is your best bet.

But I will give u a first hand info from my experience...If u are applying for a. Visitor visa of less than 6 months, u do not need any medical or police report. if atall u will need one, your application will be approved in principle and your case officer will tell you the next step through the AIP email and how to go about it.

Inz accept only e-medical, which means the panel doctor send your results directly to them and it's valid for 36 months ...u don't even have any copy other than d e-medical numbers.

I didn't have any health insurance, I only took some drugs with me...if u sustain any injury from a road accident here, u are covered by the government insurance.

When applying for any visa, the most important thing is to show that your are a bona fide and ur intentions are genuine. i.e for a visitor visa, ur intention is to visit and go back and no other plan(even though u can still get d chance to apply for another visa incase ur plans changed while u are here)....as simple as this may sound, it's the most important and difficult aspect of a visitor visa to be issued once u meet up with other socio-economic criteria.

Doing a medical while u were applying for a short stay means that u are telling Inz that u plan to stay longer or ur plans are not genuine. If it's not e- medical ,u can do it and keep it. But u cannot do that with e- medical as the result is uploaded directly into your profile with INZ.

Medical cost btw 200-300 Nzd here so the difference is not so much. Keep your plans first and focus on getting d visitor visa since that's your plan... submit the necessary docs for a visitor visa.

When u get the vv, then u can do ur police report and have it sent with ur credentials by courier while u r onshore.... don't even bring them with u because if u r unlucky and ur luggage is searched while u are on vv at POE, then your visiting intentions are not true and u can be denied immigration clearance and sent back

Also be sure u know what you're doing because getting an employer to sponsor you or a job that will meet the regulations of essential work visa may not be easy as u think...but not impossible.

I hope that helps..
GOOD LUCK
