Frequently Asked Questions
The Green List pathways
Certain occupations that feature on the Green list offer an streamlined pathway to residence. We will advise whether this is an option for you and if so, what benefits this pathway may offer.
The Skilled Migrant Residence Category
The Skilled Migrant Category is a very solid residency pathway through employment through a points system. Our assessment would determine how many points you may claim, and if you are eligible for residency under this pathway.
Sector Agreements
Caregivers and nursing assistants may seek residency after working for 2 years on a certain salary threshold.
New Zealand Work Visa Options
Most migrants will come in on an Accredited Employer Work visa. However, there may be other options, perhaps via the Working Holiday Visa, or through partnership.
