What evidence of skilled employment do I need to provide?
To show you are able to claim points for skilled employment, you will need to provide the evidence
below. Please read this section very carefully.
INZ needs to see all of these documents as evidence of skilled employment to be able to consider
your application for residence:
• a written offer of employment; and
• a detailed job description; and
• an employment agreement entered into by you and the employer, stating:
• the terms of your employment, including whether the position is full-time, the length of
employment offered and the salary or wages offered; and
• the period during which employment may begin or the date which it began, if you have already
taken up the position; and
• evidence of your qualifications, work experience, or base salary appropriate to the particular piece
of instructions that applies to your offer of employment or current employment in New Zealand.
Refer to ‘skilled employment’ in the summary of terms in this guide for further information about
assessing skilled employment (and the applicable instructions); and
• evidence of full or provisional occupational registration, if it is required by law in New Zealand
to do your job.
INZ may need to ask you, your employer, or your recruitment agency for further information
or documents before we can make a decision on your application.
