L1 Objective

The objective of New Zealand's limited purpose entry policy is to facilitate the entry of visitors, students, and workers who seek to enter New Zealand temporarily for an express purpose only, and:

1. who would not otherwise be accepted for temporary entry because of a risk that they might remain in New Zealand after their temporary permit expires; or
2. who choose the limited purpose visa as their preferred method of entry; or
3. who have been offered employment to undertake seasonal work in the horticulture or viticulture industry for a Recognised Seasonal Employer under the Recognised Seasonal Employer policy (see WH1).

Note: Applications for limited purpose visas and permits for work may only be considered if the applicant has an offer of employment from a Recognised Seasonal Employer. In such cases Limited Purpose Entry policy (including WH1.15 Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) Limited Purpose Entry (LPE) Policy - Visas and Permits applies.
