Entry to New Zealand from all countries remains strictly controlled to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Government continues to enable the health sector's access to highly skilled health personnel required for the COVID-19 response with adjustments to visa settings. Specified health and disability workers may be granted exceptions to New Zealand's strict border controls. Start date criteria removed The start date required for new approved employees was previously on or before 31 March 2021. There is now no start date criteria for new employees. Start dates are still dependent on the availability of places in Managed Isolation and Quarantine facilities. Other entry criteria still apply. All criteria are now formalised in immigration instructions (see below). Announced by INZ 03 March 2021 The Minister of Immigration is extending visas expiring before 31 March 2021 held by visitors in New Zealand, due to COVID-19. There is no fee for this automatic two-month extension. Visitors help sustain our tourism and hospitality industries, and the Government recognises the need for ongoing flexibility as we respond to the pandemic. The extension does NOT apply to visitors on the special Covid-19 Short-term Visitor Visa, introduced in September 2020. INZ will shortly be contacting the holders of visitor visas who have been given this extension to confirm their new visa expiry date. |
