What evidence do I need to prove I have relevant work experience?
To gain points for work experience you will need to submit documents that provide all the details below. You may need to submit several documents for one job to show all of the following information:
• the position(s) you held; and
• the dates you held the position(s); and
• whether your employment in the position(s) was full-time (ie based on a 30-hour week) or parttime
(ie based on less than a 30-hour week); and
• the name and address of your employer(s); and
• the relevance of your work experience to your current skilled employment in New Zealand or offer of skilled employment in New Zealand (if you have skilled employment); or
• how your work experience enabled you to gain specialist, technical, or management skills and experience relevant to an occupation that is included in the lists of occupations held at Appendix 4 or Appendix 7 of the Operational Manual; or
• the relevance of your work experience to your recognised qualification.


There are a number of documents that may show the information we need before we make a decision on your application. You could submit the following documents as evidence for all the information required and listed above.
• References on company letterhead.
• Pay slips.
• Job specifications.
• Tax records.
• Letters of appointment.
• Contracts.
• Job assessments.
If necessary, we may need to ask you, or your previous employers, for further information or documents before making a decision on your application.
