Immigration to New Zealand
(Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa)
Under this category, you must have skills that can
contribute to New Zealand’s economic growth for you to live in New
Zealand permanently. Your application is more likely to be accepted
if you have employment in an area in which New Zealand has a skills
shortage.
You will need to have enough skills, experience and qualifications
for the government of New Zealand to accept your Expression of
Interest and invite you to apply for residence. There is an age
restriction; you must be 55 or younger when you apply. Moreover, you
will need to speak English reasonably well.
Once you get the visa, you can live, work and study in New Zealand
indefinitely as long as you meet the visa conditions. That also
includes your partner and dependent children aged 24 and under in
your residence application. If you comply with the visa conditions,
you can apply for permanent residence while working there.
You can register your interest at any time by sending us your
Expression of Interest (EOI) to the government of New Zealand. If
qualified, you will be invited to apply for residence, and you will
have four months to send your application to them. The government of
New Zealand has a point-based system to assess your qualification; please
press here to go to
their website for assessment.
