Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Visa

No. The RSE visa is 'employer-specific'. You can only work for the RSE-accredited employer that supported your application.

The **Supplementary Seasonal Employment (SSE)** visa allows those already in NZ on visitor or student visas to switch to seasonal work for up to 6 months if there is a shortage of RSE workers.

While the RSE scheme primarily targets partner countries in the Pacific Islands, other nationalities may be recruited if employers can demonstrate they cannot fill roles with local or Pacific workers.
