New Zealand - flag New Zealand - Work Skills & Ancestry - Skilled Visa (Arts, Sports & Culture)

The purpose of New Zealand’s work visa and permit policy is to contribute to the development of the country’s industry and economy by attracting skilled migrants through employer sponsorship, whether seasonal or long-term. This Skilled Visa (Arts, Sports & Culture) is available for persons who have exceptional talent as a sports person, an artist, or an arts or cultural performer and have sponsorship from a New Zealand art, cultural or sporting organisation. This will allow you to apply for a 30 month visa, which potentially can lead to a permanent residence visa for New Zealand.

To enter New Zealand you must:

  • Be in good health and of good character
  • Have a valid passport
  • Have a genuine intention to work in New Zealand
  • If you are granted a work permit you need to meet certain conditions during your stay:
  • The work you do must be in line with the conditions specified in your permit
  • You must abide by New Zealand law
  • You must only stay in New Zealand for the time allowed by your permit. If you break any of these conditions, you may be required to leave New Zealand immediately.

WhatPassport.com is a specialist UK Nationality and British Citizenship site offering an online search and assessment. Claims to hold a British Passport can be complex and the site offers a quick, simple search to give you the answers. While many people qualify for the UK Ancestry Visa based on holding a Commonwealth passport with a UK born grandmother or grandfather, we have found that if you have a grandparent born in the UK, or if your mother is British or your father is British, then there are several scenarios where you can claim British Nationality and the right to hold a British Passport. This stems from Britain’s collection of British Colonies, British Protectorates and British Protected States in the middle of last century and the Nationality rules concerning what are now the countries of the Commonwealth.
