Agreement research note

What still needs checking

Detailed treaty plus current generic D process, but NZ-specific personal-work-permit implementation remains a qualified source note outside assessed age matching.

Prepare treaty evidence and general D documents, stating intended arrival; confirm the correct funds and fee evidence.
Attend the competent mission personally under current D instructions; do not assume short-stay VFS delegation covers WH.
Obtain both the required stay and work permissions and confirm current arrival/registration instructions.

This entry is not an assessed age match. An agreement or historical listing does not establish current permission to apply, enter, work or study.
