Hi Everyone,
I'm interviewing for a job I applied for through a recruitment agency. They told me that the visa is for an "accredited" employer which would give me a two year work visa which I can then after the first 2 year convert into a permanent resident visa.
Actually I was prepared to go through the SMC process with EOI ITA and such, which would lead to a PR right from start, which is what me and my family actually are looking for. However, the recruiter said that I should not be worried too much, as I can start on the talent based visa and later apply for an SMC once I'm in NZ.
Is that correct information? Can one apply for another visa category while under a different one in the first place? Wouldn't I need another job offer and/or switch employers?
Thanks!
