Know Your Rights as an Employee on a Visa
If your employment ends you must inform Immigration NZ:
👉🏼 If you are on an Accredited Employer Visa and your employment has ended for any reason, you must inform Immigration New Zealand.
👉🏼 If you want to remain in New Zealand and you are eligible for a new visa, Immigration New Zealand will issue you with a temporary visa, while your new work visa is being processed.
Contact phone numbers for Immigration New Zealand:
👉🏼 Customer Service Centre (Toll-free from NZ landlines only): 0508 558 855

Applying for a variation to your visa or a new work visa:
👉🏼 If you have a work visa that is specific to your job, it will show the name of your employer and the details and location of your work. If any of these details change, you need to apply for a variation to your work visa or for a new work visa.
If you have an Accredited Employer Work Visa:
👉🏼 If you have an Accredited Employer Work Visa, you can leave your job to work for another accredited employer. You can apply to Immigration NZ for a job change, or apply for a new work visa.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
