Visas for Psychologists
The good news for psychologists seeking to work and live in New Zealand is that visas are available for you and eligible family members to apply for. All our clients are accredited with the New Zealand Immigration Service, meaning they can hire from overseas when suitable local psychologists are unavailable. Some psychologists are fast-tracked under a special green list system.
Most psychologists need to secure a job before applying for a visa to work in New Zealand. Therefore, our international recruitment services play a crucial role. We will evaluate your qualifications, skills, and experience and provide information on job opportunities and our capacity to assist you. Subsequently, we will help you prepare job applications and interviews to enhance your chances of success and enable you to apply for visas.
A job offer is just one of the visa criteria, as other requirements are centred on health, character, and age. At the onset of the process, you will have the opportunity to self-evaluate if you meet the visa application criteria to avoid disappointments later in the process.
Upon obtaining a job offer, some psychologists prepare their visa applications themselves, and others engage an Immigration Adviser to complete them on their behalf. Immigration Advisers are particularly useful for complex applications, and we are happy to recommend them based on feedback from psychologists we have placed into jobs.
