Successful applicants will not be charged for the visa, and the government expects to complete applications within seven days. The visa validity is for a maximum of six months.
In order to speed up the entry of qualified professionals who can aid in the nation's recovery from previous weather-related disasters, the New Zealand government has developed the Recovery Visa.
The visa's goal is to make it possible for foreign experts to enter the nation right away and offer assistance in a range of capacities, including as emergency response, cleanup, Risk assessment, normalization and repair of the infrastructure and housing, and direct recovery help.
In response to the flooding and effects of Cyclone Gabrielle in New Zealand, the Recovery Visa was announced.
After the earthquakes in Christchurch and Kaikoura, similar visa policies were put into place.
The Recovery Visa ensures abroad professionals needed to support the recovery work can come here promptly, said Michael Wood, minister of immigration.
Here's everything you need to know about the visa programme:
