Hey Cris, does this help at all?

The Entry, Residence and Departure Act 1977 states that anyone other than a Cook Islands citizen or permanent resident who wishes to live and work on the Islands must first obtain a work and residence permit.

A business or employer can apply for a work permit on behalf of an expatriate employee. As a rule, a permit is issued for a year, and is renewable on application by the employer. The work permit is tied to the applicant's employer and is not transferable to another employment.

For those seeking a 3-year work permit or short-term work permit (including journalists, photographers and television crew), permission should be sought through the following contact:

Mr. Tutai Toru
Principal Immigration Officer
Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Immigration
PO Box 105
Avarua, Rarotonga
COOK ISLANDS
Telephone: (682) 29-347
Facsimile: (682) 21-247

Thanks for that information David..
My wife is a nurse, although Europeans, we have all NZ residencies, one of my sons a NZ citizen. Would you happen to know if this makes moving to the cooks any easier.
Its hard to find much information on moving to the cooks TBH. We might end up having to got there and knock on a few doors.

Regards Bob
