New Zealand - From 14 October 2024 changes to visa caps for the China Special Work Visa will align the visa with the New Zealand-China Free Trade Agreement upgrade

The 2008 New Zealand-China Free Trade Agreement allowed up to 800 non-labour market tested work visas for Chinese nationals in 5 specific occupations: Chinese chefs, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, Mandarin teacher's aides, Wushu martial arts coaches, and Chinese tour guides. 

These work visas have a maximum duration of 3 years, after which individuals must remain outside New Zealand for 3 years before reapplying for a visa under this category.
