The overseas applicant requirement is real simple.
You must have the right to live and work in New Zealand.
You should have a New Zealand CPL/ ATPL and a multi instrument rating prior to the interview but MUST have one before an offer of position can be made. Aussies can interview without the NZ licence but need to complete the TTMRA before being offered a position.
The reason that there are not a lot of foreign nationals applying for Air NZ is that "pilot" does not feature in the criteria for immigrants, so pilots must find another means to meet the Government immigration points system, be it married to a Kiwi or a partner who has meet the New Zealand immigration required points.
The last few courses before the big slow down had a small percentage of foreign nationals from the UK, Aussie and Italy. All good people with average experience.
