New Zealand to open applications for two new seasonal work visas in December

The Government of New Zealand has announced that applications for two new seasonal visa categories will open on 8 December 2025, offering more opportunities for overseas workers during peak employment periods.

The new visa types — the Global Workforce Seasonal Visa (GWSV) and the Peak Seasonal Visa (PSV) — will operate under the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) framework.

According to the New Zealand Immigration Department, job checks and visa applications for both categories will begin in December. These visas are designed to help accredited employers fill temporary workforce gaps during times of high seasonal demand across key industries.
