Can I work in New Zealand on a visitor visa?
In most cases, NO you cant. However, there are special types of visit visas that can allow employment, such as guardian visit visas and critical purpose visit visas. There are also other special circumstances which may allow employment on a visit visa. But generally, if youre in NZ on a visit visa, youll probably need to get a job offer and then apply for a work visa. Youll need to be granted that work visa before you can start working.
