New zealand immigration made an announcement, which states that the work visa holders can apply for which eligibilty is as follow:

Applicants must have met the criteria on 29 September 2021.

To be eligible you must:

have been in New Zealand on 29 September 2021, and
be on an eligible visa or have applied for an eligible visa on or before 29 September 2021 that is later granted.
You must also meet ONE of the three criteria:

have lived in New Zealand for three or more years, OR
earn at or above the median wage ($27 per hour), OR
work in a role on a scarce list.

OUR CONCERN:

we want 2021 resident visa policy to include us offshore stuck work visa holders too. We still have valid visa. Some people’s visa has expired. They all would have fullfilled all the requirements if the nz government had allowed us to come back to new zealand. They shut the borders we didnt. So it was not our fault.

we need everybody’s support to get us included. Some of us have spent more than 8 years and they dont include us. They need to update the policy and let us offshore stuck work visa holders aplly for this 2021 resident visa as well. Like onshore workers we have helped nz economy for long time and not they are turning their backs on us. Dont leave us in dark and give us a helping hand.
