Hi Andy,
Yep - you will need your Visa and proof of job offer to get your IRD number, I popped into my local PostShop and completed the form, and gave them copies of my visa attached to passport and job offer from employer. They had to see the originals at the same time aswell. IRD number arrived in the post about a week later.
Here's a link for more info:
