Know Your Rights as an Employee on a Visa

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If your employment ends you must inform Immigration NZ:
👉🏼 If you are on an Accredited Employer Visa and your employment has ended for any reason, you must inform Immigration New Zealand.
👉🏼 If you want to remain in New Zealand and you are eligible for a new visa, Immigration New Zealand will issue you with a temporary visa, while your new work visa is being processed.
Contact phone numbers for Immigration New Zealand:
👉🏼 Customer Service Centre (Toll-free from NZ landlines only): 0508 558 855
👉🏼 Auckland: +64 9 914 4100
👉🏼 Wellington: + 64 4 910 9915
👉🏼 Rest of the World: +64 9 914 4100
Applying for a variation to your visa or a new work visa:
👉🏼 If you have a work visa that is specific to your job, it will show the name of your employer and the details and location of your work. If any of these details change, you need to apply for a variation to your work visa or for a new work visa.
If you have an Accredited Employer Work Visa:
👉🏼 If you have an Accredited Employer Work Visa, you can leave your job to work for another accredited employer. You can apply to Immigration NZ for a job change, or apply for a new work visa.

Kōnae: Find Your Records

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you want to know how to request records about you or your whānau visit Kōnae: My Records Guide konae.org.nz.

Kōnae has information on more than 60 state and faith-based organisations that have records for over 800 homes and places in Aotearoa New Zealand about people who have been in their guardianship or care.

The Kōnae map shows past and present places in Aotearoa New Zealand like children’s homes, hospitals, orphanages, boarding schools, Youth Justice facilities and many more.

Each place on the map has details about who was responsible for running it and how to get records.

The map can be searched and filtered by
- name
- location
- date range
- religion
- type of organisation.

If you want support to use the website or to find your records, you can get in touch with your local CAB on 0800 367 222, email or message via cab.org.nz, or visit a CAB near you cab.org.nz/find-a-cab

Accessing records can bring up a range of emotions, we encourage you to take care of your wellbeing. You can find suggestions of support at konae.org.nz/support
