Q Do I need a visa for packing jobs in New Zealand as an overseas worker in 2026?

The visa allows up to 3 years initially and costs NZ$1,040 for applicants from visa-waiver countries. Seasonal packing roles under 6 months can use the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme with a NZ$350 application fee.

No formal education or qualifications are required by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment for general packing positions, though a secondary school certificate improves hiring chances.
