🇳🇿 Employing migrants already in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme

Many RSE workers were unable to return home at the end of last season due to border restrictions.

Workers still in New Zealand who wish to move to an employer not covered by their RSE Limited Visa must apply for a new RSE limited visa.

All RSE workers must be paid at least $22.10 per hour and for a minimum of 30 hours per week.

RSE workers who apply for a further RSE Limited Visa in New Zealand, to stay beyond the normal maximum period and who intend to be in New Zealand for more than 24 months (including time already spent in New Zealand) do not need to provide police certificates with their application.

Until 31 August 2022, the requirement to provide a chest x-ray is waived for RSE workers in New Zealand who are applying for a RSE Limited Visa and are from Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu.

Maximum stay limits

Maximum stay limits have been removed for all RSE workers. This means that RSE workers are able to apply for further RSE Limited Visas.

The repatriation of RSE workers remains a priority.

Stayed tuned for more information on employing migrants already in New Zealand!

Border exceptions for 'other critical workers'

Employers and supporting agencies can request to bring workers into New Zealand if they are deemed ‘other critical workers’. Requests for approval of critical workers must be made by employers, not individual workers.

Requests are considered on a case-by-case basis by Immigration New Zealand officials.

There are 3 categories, each with their own criteria:

* worker needed for a short term role — less than 6 months in total
Requests for border exceptions in this category closed on 31 July 2022.
* worker needed for a long term role — more than 6 months
Requests for border exceptions in this category closed on 31 July 2022.
* worker for an approved class.
Requests for most border exceptions in this category are now closed. Some primary sector exceptions remain open until 1 September 2022. Requests are not yet closing for deepwater fishing crew or seafood processors.

Employers, supporting agencies or immigration professionals who want to request for a critical worker to travel to New Zealand can apply by completing the Employer request for critical worker exception form.
