    Default ES Work Visa Timeline

    Hey guys.

    Just wondering how long it's approximately taking for ESV at the moment?
    We've applied to the Manukau branch.
    Be good to hear others timeframes please.

    Based on INZ it will take around 69 days. Just saw updated process time!!

    Yeah I saw that, thanks.
    I was hoping people who have had recent experience would share their process times.

    Not too sure what's going on at INZ at the moment but they are experiencing pretty big delays right across the board - even opening the mail is taking them a couple of weeks at the moment! Here's hoping they get things under control soon as it's so unfair to penalise applicants for INZ's own poor management of their own processes

    Lately INZ takes pretty long time to process ESV. My friend applied the 10th February and he got his visa approved the 4th April.

    Wow it's crazy isn't it. I remember last year's application took 8 days. Bit longer this year then!

    i think it depend on your location if overseas or in NZ, as for me it takes 2 months to grand ESV while i was overseas,
    but when i applied for a ESV while i am located in NZ it takes 1 week only.

    My co-worker in Queenstown applied around Mid-April and received ESV around 7th May. So waited around 3 weeks. Probably really depends on location as Queenstown might get faster response I guess?

    Very true.
