Hi there - wondering if anyone has some advice on tips to start IT contracting in NZ...
I've got a contract offer from a big consultancy to come and do some work there for a few months. I've visited NZ 3 times in last 4 years and now want to work there to see if it's where I want to emigrate permanently.
So, I work as an IT contractor in UK and want to do the same in NZ. But what visa should I go for? I'm comfortable with setting up a Ltd Co in NZ but what would I need to get the working visa? The contract states that I'll be given work to do, but it's rated as 'zero-hour'. It's not permanent (obviously !!) so isn't a 'job offer', more an 'offer of work'. My skill-set is quite esoteric and is in demand at the moment.
Has anyone here had experience of a similar scenario ? Can I just invoice from my UK Ltd Co ?
I'll be in contact with Immigration agents as I have some good contacts but just wondering if anyone here can offer advice/tips ?
Many Thanks,
PC
