Struggling to Find Work! It Seems Like You Can't Get a Job

New Zealand is offering the Global Workforce Seasonal Visa (GWSV).

High-skilled seasonal work visa for New Zealand, effective from December 8, 2025, for operational peak seasons.

The visa is valid for up to 3 years, allowing returning seasonal workers to build long-term employment relationships in New Zealand while requiring them to spend at least 3 months outside the country each year.
