Self Employed work on a work Visa

SuzieM

Hi,

I have been in New Zealand for 9 months on a 3-year work visa which I got as part of my partner's essential skills visa. I did work part-time for a while but it didn't work out. I really want to work self-employed but I am not sure if I am allowed to. It does say on the Immi website that it will state that on the visa itself.  My visa says "Can work for any employer in any location in NZ, but it doesn't mention self-employed.

Does anyone know if you can do this or how I can find out? I just keep going round and round the website.

Thanks in advance.

Suzie
