VISA
All overseas crew and cast working in New Zealand are legally required to have been issued a Work Visa by the New Zealand Immigration Service. Although a Work Visa is not required for location scouting, for clients or agency observers or for holders of Australian passports.
Visitors who are not working will require Tourist Visas, which are valid for a period of up to 3 months or 6 months for British passport holders.
Visas can be arranged before leaving home through the nearest New Zealand High Commission or Consulate. AJ FILMS can assist in organising this process within New Zealand with the Immigration Service, local Technicians Guild and local representatives of Actors Equity. It is advisable that overseas producers contact us first for information and assistance.
