New Zealand is fast becoming a favorite choice of people for either study or work purpose. No matter, it is for study or work, you need to give the IELTS exam, to get there. Today let us have a look at what would you require to have, if you want to go to New Zealand, for work.

1. An IELTS score of overall band 4 (or 3 if you are under the Investor 2). Make sure the certificate is less than two years.
2. evidence that you have an English speaking background.
3. evidence that you have been employed in New Zealand for a position that requires you to speak English for at least 12 months.

Other than this, you can even show your competency in English by either of the following ways-

• your current country of residence.
• countries you may have lived in before
• how long you were in each country
• whether you speak any languages other than English
• your family’s ability to speak English
• whether your family members speak any languages other than English
• your previous or current work and the level of English language skills required, and
• your qualifications and the level of English language skills they required.

Either ways, you will still be required to provide an IELTS certificate to work in New Zealand. So, what are you waiting for, go prepare for your IELTS, score high and live your dream.
