Work to Residence is initially a temporary work visa which can lead to permanent residence after working on this visa for at least 24 months. It is different from a general temporary work visa in that you must have an offer of employment with an accredited employer for an annual base salary of NZD$55,000 or more. Also, unlike the general temporary work visa, this type of visa does not undergo a Labour Market Check, making the process of applying, and your chances of gaining a Work to Residence visa, much easier!
