New Zealand has launched New Seasonal Visas to help employers bring in short-term workers when they most need them. The two options are the <\/span>Global Workforce<\/b><\/a> Seasonal Visa (GWSV) and the Peak Seasonal Visa (PSV). These New Seasonal Visas open on 8 December 2025 and sit under the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) framework. This change aims to make hiring for busy seasons easier while keeping rules that protect workers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

What are the two New Seasonal Visas and why they matter<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first visa, the Global Workforce Seasonal Visa (GWSV), is for people who return to seasonal work year after year. The second, the Peak Seasonal Visa (PSV), is aimed at short, high-demand periods when employers need extra hands right away. Together, these New Seasonal Visas give employers clearer choices and give workers safer, clearer ways to work in New Zealand for seasonal jobs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Think of it this way: an orchard might need many pickers for a few weeks, or a seaside town might need extra staff for the summer. The New Seasonal Visas let employers plan and hire legally and quickly so work gets done and workers are treated fairly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Simple rules you should know<\/b><\/h2>\n
