Program Overview
Cyclone Gabrielle and other extreme weather events have devastated many communities and businesses on the North Island. The Recovery Visa in New Zealand (a Specific Purpose Work Visa) is for migrant workers who are assisting with the recovery.

Roles covered by this Sponsored Recovery Visa.
The visa is for migrant workers coming to New Zealand for a short time (up to 6 months) to do a job that supports the North Island recovery from extreme weather events in January and February 2023.
This support can include:
- providing emergency response
- immediate clean-up
- assessing risk or loss
- infrastructure, building and housing stabilisation and/or repair (including planning functions)
- work that directly supports the recovery (e.g. producing relevant materials for road rebuild, transport drivers etc).
Employers must confirm that the role supports the North Island recovery from extreme weather events by completing a Recovery Visa Employer Supplementary Form (INZ 1377). Migrants must include the completed form with their application.
This visa is not available to industries providing indirect support (e.g. businesses in the affected areas facing an increased demand for services) or to backfill vacancies of people leaving roles to work on the recovery.

These employers will be able to access labor through other visas such as the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV). Changes are being considered to the AEWV to support faster processing for identified roles that will support the recovery and rebuild. These roles will be exempt from the labor market test.
The Recovery Visa is not limited to roles in the North Island only, recognizing that some direct support industries will be South Island-based. Employers do not have to be accredited.
