Talent (Accredited Employer) resident visa - change of job duties
Hi all,
Thank you for your time in advance.
I have lodged the resident visa under Talent (Accredit Employer) stream about a month ago, obviously had already held the Talent (A.E.) work visa for 2 years at the time of application. My visa conditions say I could work for my company in New Zealand (My job involves some travelling around the country and overseas so I guess that's why it didn't specify location)
However, my work duties have changed even since my application. I have been delegated to help other departments and spent majority of my time there.
Now I spent roughly 20% of my work time doing tasks related to my old job (The job that I was granted work visa for), and 80% of the work helping other departments.
I am still working in the same company and in the same location, my salary and work hours are the same.
In this case, do I need to apply for VOC? Would it affect my residency application?
Also, on a completely separate note, there is a new job opportunity arose in my company.
It will be a completely different job, different duties and might work in different location within NZ.
Would I be able to apply for a new work visa? Or can I get away with a VOC?
I am just weighing up to see if it's worth to apply for the new job. If it will jeopardise my residency application then I probably need to think twice :biggrin:
Many thanks everyone!
