Can a tourist in New Zealand continue to reside if he finds a job there?

Anyone visiting New Zealand must obey the terms of their visa. A tourist visa does not entitle the person holding it to work. However, if you wish to stay and work you can apply to change your visa to a resident visa or a work visa. Take a look at the site below for more information.

Try going to apply for a work visa there and get a temporary residency there.

No! Not unless they are issued a valid work visa.

New Zealand's immigration site is a great place to start (no . 1 below). It has several sections that explain about NZ, its lifestyle, housing, and opportunities, as well as links to other information.\n\nAdditionally, there is a site (no. 2 below) that tells you all about New Zealand. Go there and click on the link 'Travel to New Zealand'. From there you will find all sorts of good information.\n\nFinally, the main internet service provider in New Zealand is at xtra.co.nz (no. 3 below). Here you can catch up on whats happening in New Zealand on a day to day basis. \n\nI hope this is helpful. :-)

You need to live there. To be a resident you will need to get a place to live, place to work and prove you are there. I am not sure of the time frame though.

If you are in London area, pick up TNT magazine and check agencies adverts.  There are quite a few of those which does immigration form and to New Zealand.  Also check those links listed below. \nGood luck.

I think life anywhere in NZ is fabulous!  My husband is from near there and had a fabulous time growing up in NZ and longs to return!  Auckland is a big and beautiful city...is nice to live so close but still have a real neighborhood.\n\nManukau's official site tells you about the economics of the city, job information, etc.:\nhttp://www.manukau.govt.nz/

You "reside" wherever you have an intent to permanently stay.  If you took a job in a different state and moved there for that purpose, you "reside" there the first day you get there. \n\nBut state have laws about how long you must reside there for certain purposes, i.e. to collect welfare, vote, etc.

Interesting question.  I have to say firstly that the fine people who answer the BCIS hotline aren't always as knowledgeable as you might think.  When I called them about my wife immigration stuff I would often call and ask the same question 2-3-4 times till I could get a constant answer.\n\nCheck out the BCIS website.  I thought there were special rules inplace for people already here (legally or not) and working such that they wouldn't have to leave the country first...maybe that was only a california thing?\n\nI 'think' you can petition for him while he's here and he can stay while the thing get sorted out.\n\nI am wanting to think there might be a job-store/day-labor place locally to you that might have some tips.  I would think the govt would be as accomodating as can be for someone who wants to work here legally and pay taxes and all that stuff....\n\ngood luck.

if I am not mistaken... You need to actually have landed a job there before you can apply for a visa or work permit.  The company has to sponsor you.

You have a very good chance of being accepted. Depending on the country you live in, you can either go there on a tourist visa and arragne a job there or arrange a job over the internet - either way, you should have a job lined up before you apply for a work visa. It's difficult to get one otherwise. The process is long and frustrating, but www.cic.gc.ca should have the information you need.

Hi there,\n\nWhether you can obtain a working visa will depend on your qualifications and work experience.

I would be happy to provide you with an eligibility assessment for UK, Aust or NZ - Jessica.Stooke@Visalogic.net

No, now when you arrive to your destiny by plane, your passport will be stamped with date of entry and they will ask you how long u wish to stay, the maximum stay is for 3 months. If for a reason you need to extend your stay, it is possible by going to Relaciones Exteriores to apply for an extended tourist stay.
