I'm asking on behalf of my cousin who is coming to NZ on a tourist visa with the hope of getting a work permit/job.

What are his chances with these qualifications? Do you think his chances are good? What is the pay like? I've read somewhere that if you get offered employment you have to stay in the same job for 2 years? Is that correct?


10 years experience driving buses, Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving Card, he holds Licences in Class A = Motorcycle B and E = Car and Trailer , CE= Heavy Goods , C1E = Drive all HT vehicles including B trains , Buses Class D = Normal buses, Class DE = bus and trailer, D1E = Bendy buses. All bus licences with P category as well as a disabled carrying licence for mini buses. He also holds his SVQ level 2 certificate in Road Passenger Transport.

Any other advice from any Truckie or Bus Driver is greatly appreciated.
