The critical eligibility criteria is to be suitably qualified by training and/or experience to undertake the offer of employment (including any specific requirements set out on the LTSSL).
This visa category offers a pathway to New Zealand residence. You can start your pathway to residence in New Zealand by working for up to 30 months in an occupation for which there is a shortage of New Zealanders available.
While on this visa you will have to work in the specified occupation from the LTSSL, for the specific employer, and in the specific location detailed in the job offer that was the basis of your work visa application.
