Have you been offered a job in the New Zealand entertainment industry as an overseas worker?

If you are an overseas worker seeking a job in the New Zealand entertainment industry, it is recommended that you or your employer consult with a New Zealand entertainment industry body to check if they support your work visa application. This is a crucial step that must be taken before an employer offers you a job in the industry.

To obtain an agreement to support your work visa application, the organisation representing New Zealand entertainment workers with your skills must be contacted by your employer. It is important to note that an overseas entertainment industry worker includes performers, producers, directors, crew members, and support personnel for any of the above.

Consult the list to find out who you need to contact for support.
