Working abroad as a citizen of New Zealand

Where can citizens of New Zealand work without a work visa?

Australian and New Zealand citizens may live and work in each other's country (Trans-Tasman travel arrangement). 1,885 jobs on this list are in those countries.

How do you decide which jobs are open to citizens of New Zealand?

A job is listed when it is on-site outside your own country and either the country is one where your passport alone gives a work right (free movement), or a visa-support signal applies there (an explicit posting statement or a Gulf country norm). Postings that restrict applicants by citizenship, residence or existing work authorization are left out, and so are remote jobs, which depend on where you live rather than your passport. It is a planning aid, not a decision on your work rights: check each posting and the official immigration rules.
