Hi there

I am from Georgia (Country). I am a Master Barber I am on a visitor visa in New Zealand.

as I asked visa officer about looking for jobs before entering NZ he said I could look for a work with this visa then apply for work visa.

All the Barbershops I go and demonstrate my skills, they are highly keen to hire me. but before applying for work visa, I got some questions to know otherwise I dont want to waste my time being suspicious that I will get my visa refused.

The main problem I mean the only and one problem for me right now is that I have certificate from Georgia (Country) but New Zeland government does not recognize it and My country doesnt give any diploma or any experince based papers that New Zealand could recognize. so in short my certificate is nothing but trash in New Zealand but my skills are suffiecnt enough to start the job some accredited employers already contact me back to expect me to start process asap but knowing I get refusal after waiting for visa because I cannot prove on paper puts me back.

Please can anyone who knows or has experience guide me what to do?


Best Regards.
