    Default EOI selected, how long now?

    So I finally got a job offer and submitted my EOI which has been selected (30 March). How long does the ITA take? Do they email you it or send it via post? Only got a month left on my visitors visa, so hoping the process doesn't take too long.

    If you've given a NZ address, then normally around 2-4 weeks from EOI selection to ITA, emailed if that is what you put in your EOI.
    Off shore (London+generally take around 4 weeks).

    You can always extend your visitor visa, or if you now have a job offer and with your EOI selected you can apply for a work visa, without having to worry about any labour market testing issues.

    I see, thanks. Is the ITA not for a working visa? Thought I had to wait for that before applying for the work visa.

    No, an ITA relates to residence visa (SMC) . You can now lodge an essential skills work visa application, noting that you have an EOI selected and that the job offer is part of that EOI.
