Visa requirements:
Psychologists looking to work and live in New Zealand will be pleased to know that there are temporary and permanent immigration visas available for themselves and eligible family members. All the employers we partner with are accredited by the New Zealand Immigration Service, which enables them to hire internationally. Additionally, some psychologists may qualify for a fast-track process through a special green list system.
To apply for a visa to work as a psychologist, you must first obtain registration with the New Zealand Psychologists Board (NZPB) and secure a job offer. Our international recruitment services are here to help you with this process. We will evaluate your qualifications, skills, and experience while providing information on available job opportunities. Additionally, we will assist you in preparing your NZPB registration application, job applications, and improving your interview skills to enhance your chances of success.
A job offer is just one of the criteria for obtaining a visa; there are also requirements related to health, character, and age. At the beginning of the process, you will have the opportunity to self-assess whether you meet the visa application criteria, helping to prevent any disappointments later on.
Once you accept a job offer, some psychologists prepare their own visa applications, while others seek help from a licensed Immigration Adviser. Immigration Advisors can be particularly beneficial for complex applications, and we are happy to provide recommendations if needed.
The first step to getting started is determining whether your qualifications, skills, and experience match the requirements. Use our online form to quickly verify your qualifications and register your interest.
