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:
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ If you are on an Accredited Employer Visa and your employment has ended for any reason, you must inform Immigration New Zealand.
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ 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:
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Customer Service Centre (Toll-free from NZ landlines only): 0508 558 855

Applying for a variation to your visa or a new work visa:
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ 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:
πŸ‘‰πŸΌ 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.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? πŸ’°πŸŒ²

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Keen for an update? The Post has you covered
