Plumbing Technician
Hey everyone 👋
I’m a qualified plumber currently applying for jobs in New Zealand. Most of the employers I’ve reached out to (through SEEK and Immigration NZ) keep asking if I already have a work visa.Whenever I mention that I’ll need visa sponsorship, they stop replying. 😕
I’m wondering how people from your countries were able to get employer sponsorship to NZ. Plumbing is on the Accredited Employer Work Visa list, even when you’re ready to handle all the expenses yourself.
