    Default Meaning of the Visa condition

    Guys, need you help to understand the meaning of this visa condition,

    Code:
    Visa valid for further travel for 9 month(s) from first arrival. This visa expires 9 month(s) after first arrival. When entering NZ, stay is subject to grant of entry permission. You must leave New Zealand before the expiry of your visa or face deportation. Holder may work for any employer in any occupation in New Zealand. Evidence of financial support not required. Return/onward ticket not required.
    No where in this condition it says that i must find a skilled job, So does it mean i can do any job in NZ and apply for resident visa?

    No, it doesn't mean that. You can be employed by anybody to do anything, but this visa is ONLY valid for nine months. In order to move on and get your Residence, which is deferred and waiting for you, you must be able to show that you have a permanent skilled job (or the offer of it), in the skill you proved on your ITA for Skilled Migrant. The regulations must have been in the paperwork you were sent from INZ. If you don't get a skilled job, you will have to leave the country after nine months. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/opsmanual/30614.htm
