Primary and high school teachers can apply for a work visa if they obtain a job offer from a school in New Zealand that is accredited to offer an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV). Primary and high school teachers can apply for a Straight to Residence visa without applying for a temporary visa first.

Teachers must meet all the other requirements for the visa, including having the necessary qualifications, registration, as well as a job offer from an accredited school. We can check if you will meet the requirements for an AEWV and help you in preparing your documents for submission.

Send us your Resume (CV) by filling in the form below and we will get back to you with a free initial indication of your suitability for obtaining a job offer and meeting the residence visa requirements. You can also start to look for suitable teaching positions in New Zealand on the Education Gazette website and let us know if you have secured a job offer.
