Changes for Essentail Skills Work Visa Holders! Varying the conditions of work visas (Essential Skills Work Visa’s) Immigration instructions now allow work visa holders to request to change their employer and/or their occupation and/or their place of employment. The place of employment is usually defined as the region/area where their employer is located e.g. Auckland or Wellington provided that E3.25.1(c) is met. However in the case of Essential Skills work visa holders (E3.25.1 (d)), a variation of conditions can only be granted if: the applicant’s employer is the only condition being varied or the new occupation is on one of the Essential Skills in Demand lists and the applicant meets the requirements of the list (in this case multiple visa conditions can be varied) In ALL other Essential Skills cases, the applicant must submit an application for a NEW work visa and meet labour market testing requirements. See the examples below for further guidance. (Taken from INZ Internal Administration Circular NO: 13/03)
