Tauranga City Council is an Accredited Employer with New Zealand Immigration Service (NZIS).  This means that we are a part of a small group of NZ companies who are able to recruit globally and have our employees' talent visas fast tracked with a processing time of approximately 5 days. 
 
To be eligible for a Talent Visa application, NZIS must consider your skills to be in short supply within New Zealand - "The Long Term Skill Shortage List" on the NZIS website, provides you with the occupations that qualify for the Talent Visa application. If you are eligible for a Talent Visa application, you will need a copy of our Accreditation letter.
