Summerfruit NZ and other sector groups have continued to engage with Immigration NZ about the SSE visa process, especially for those who didn’t automatically transfer from WHV to SSE visas.
This flowchart sets out the employer options to employ SSE visa holders, and associated processes. We are advised that some changes to make the application for SSE visas easier are imminent. If you have stranded workers who are seeking to get an SSE visa, but are encountering problems, please get in touch with the details.
We continue to work with Ministry for Social Development on regional role shortages, as the simplest and most flexible method for employers to employ SSE visa holders.
