14 August 2025 · Europe Permit

  • 📅 New Zealand will launch two new seasonal work visas starting December 8, 2025.

  • 🌾 The Global Workforce Seasonal Visa (GWSV) caters to skilled seasonal workers.

  • ✅ GWSV allows stays up to 3 years for those with 3+ seasons of past experience.

  • 💬 It skips English tests and labor market checks—making applications simpler.

  • ⛷️ Accepted roles include ski guides, shearers, agricultural techs, and vineyard workers.

  • 🧳 Workers must leave NZ for 3 months every year to qualify for the GWSV.

  • 🧤 The Peak Seasonal Visa (PSV) targets lower-skilled seasonal workers in peak industries.

  • 🕐 PSV is valid for up to 7 months and needs just 1 season of experience in 3 years.

  • 🏥 PSV applicants must have valid health insurance but don’t need job offers for renewal.

  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Both visas don’t allow dependents—but offer clear work rights and transition options.
