Common Challenges

Working in hospitality in the Middle East — but wondering what's next?

  • Not sure if your role actually qualifies for a NZ visa pathway
  • Years of Gulf experience but no clear picture of what it's worth in New Zealand
  • Confusing information online — every forum gives a different answer
  • Not knowing whether to act now or wait — or what applying from overseas even looks like
That's exactly what this consultation is designed to solve.
And unlike most "free consultations" in this space, you're speaking directly with a senior licensed adviser who places hospitality professionals into New Zealand for a living — not a sales rep.

Why New Zealand

Why Hospitality professionals are choosing New Zealand.

Hospitality professionals who've built careers in the Gulf have skills New Zealand actively recruits — from work visas that can open a pathway to residence for those who qualify, to employer connections through RANZ that most agents simply don't have.

Your Gulf Experience Counts

New Zealand’s hospitality sector recruits experienced chefs, F&B and hotel professionals from overseas. Your consultation confirms whether your role, experience, and pay meet current visa requirements.

A Possible Path to Residence

Some hospitality professionals move from a work visa to residence over time, if they meet the criteria. We’ll tell you honestly whether that’s realistic for you, and what it would take.

RANZ Employer Connections

As RANZ’s official immigration partner, we’re connected to NZ hospitality employers actively hiring. That’s a very different starting point from sending a CV cold.
 

Your Family Can Be Part of the Plan

Depending on your visa, role and pay, your partner and children may be able to join you, and your partner may be able to work. We’ll map out exactly what applies to your family.
What you'll know after 30 minutes
Speak With an Adviser
  • Whether your specific hospitality role qualifies for a NZ visa pathway right now
  • Which visa pathway fits your role and experience
  • A clear timeline-what to do first, what to fix if you're not quite there yet
  • How your spouse and children fit into the pathway
  • A written summary of your options to take away — not just a verbal chat
  • That's exactly what this consultation is designed to solve.
  • And unlike most "free consultations" in this space, you're speaking directly with a senior licensed adviser who places hospitality professionals into New Zealand for a living — not a sales rep.

Why Our Clients Love to Work with Us!

Vibi
Chef
I applied for chef position in New Zealand and I met Aman and Sameena from the 1881 Global. I am excited to tell about this one because I got my visa in only 12 days. The agency was very helpful because Sameena and Aman always cleared my doubts, from the start to the end. I have people around me who have struggled for weeks and months but my visa got approved in just 12 days. All thanks to 1881 Global.
Rahul Gulariya
Housekeeper
I applied for house keeping role in New Zealand. So I connected with 1881 Global, Aman and Sameena. I connected with them on LinkedIn as well. My experience with 1881 Global is very great, and my visa got approved in just in 5 days. I'm really thankful to 1881 Global for that. I am feeling very excited to go to New Zealand and start a new journey. It was like a dream when I started this hospitality journey to go to New Zealand and work there. It was a dream come true for me.
Sumit Ghosh
Retail grocery manager
I applied for a job in the retail sector, and from there I got connected with Aman and Sameena. My experience was superb and nicely helped by both Aman and Sameena. So, I got instruction in every step. The process was made very clear and simple, in every step they guided my and helped me a lot to get this job. I've been looking for a job since past 5-6 years. But unfortunately, I wasn't getting the right guidance and contacts, or a person to approach for a job in New Zealand. So, I can say that a long dream has been fulfilled now. So, I'm happy and you must consider 1881 Global, because of their efficiency, and professionalism and clarity in their process and their success rate is good.
D Patel
I would like to sincerely thank you for all your hard work, guidance, and support throughout the visa process. Your assistance and professionalism made the process much easier for me, and I truly appreciate the time and effort you invested in my application. This approval means a lot to me and my family, and I am very grateful for your help in achieving this important milestone. Thank you once again for your excellent support and dedication.

Frequently asked

Frequently Asked Questions

Get In Touch with 1881 Global
Is my role as a chef / hotel manager / F&B professional in demand in New Zealand?

Hospitality roles are not on New Zealand’s Green List. However, experienced chefs, F&B and hotel professionals may still have work visa options, and in some cases a longer-term pathway to residence, depending on their role, experience, qualificationsand pay. Whether your profile qualifies is exactly what the consultation establishes.

Yes. We work entirely with clients offshore — you don’t need to be in New Zealand to start the process. The consultation is online, and applications can be lodged from your current country of residence.
 
A work visa lets you live and work in New Zealand for a set period. Residence lets you live here indefinitely. Some work visa holders can later apply for residence if they meet the criteria. Your adviser will tell you whetherthat’s a realistic goal for you.
Yes. As the official Immigration & Internship Partner of the Restaurant Association of New Zealand, we have direct relationships with employers actively recruiting skilled hospitality professionals — which gives our clients a meaningful advantage.
 

Often, yes. Whether your partner and dependent children can join you, and whether your partner can work, depends on your visa type, role and pay. We’ll cover your family’s situation on the call.

We’ll tell you directly — and we’ll tell you exactly what would need to change for a pathway to open. You won’t leave without a clear answer, even if that answer is “not yet.”

No. The consultation provides professional guidance and strategic advice but does not guarantee the outcome of any future visa application.

No. We work with clients both offshore and onshore — whether you’re applying from abroad or already living in New Zealand on a visa.

It can be helpful to have details of your qualifications, employment history, and any previous immigration assessments available to ensure a productive discussion.

No. You do not need a job offer to book a consultation. In fact, the consultation is designed to help you understand your options before you start applying for jobs. Many clients come to us at the very beginning of their journey — with no job offer, no visa, and no idea where to start. That’s exactly what we’re here for.

Payment is made online by card at the time of booking. The consultation fee is A$49, which will be automatically converted to your local currency by your card provider at the current exchange rate. No cash or bank transfer required.

You can reschedule your consultation up to 24 hours before your booked time at no charge, directly through the booking link. If you need to cancel, please contact us at least 24 hours in advance and we will issue a full refund. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the session are non-refundable.

All sessions are shown in your local time zone automatically. When you open the booking link, Calendly detects your location and displays all available slots in Gulf Standard Time (GST, UTC+4) — so what you see is what you get. No time zone confusion.

Stay Ahead.
