    • NZ Residence via employment

    New Zealand is looking to attract global talents and offers several residence pathways to skilled workers.

    Employer Sponsored residence pathways for New Zealand

    There are 3 skills-based residence pathways that you may consider, depending on your skills and background, these are:

    These residence pathways lead to the grant of a New Zealand resident visa to candidates who have skills that are needed in New Zealand, that are able to make use or transfer these skills, and that will successfully settle and contribute to the country. Some allow you to apply straight for residence, while others require that you work in New Zealand on a temporary work visa for 1, 2, or 3 years, before you can apply for residence.
