New Zealand Resident Visas offer a pathway for individuals to live and work in New Zealand permanently. These visas cater to a variety of professions, skills, and individual circumstances. Here’s a brief overview of each type:
This visa is designed for individuals working in the care sector, such as aged care or disability support. It offers a pathway to residency for workers in this essential industry. The visa allows people to initially work in New Zealand and apply for residency after meeting certain conditions, such as working for a specified period.
The Entrepreneur Resident Visa is for people who have successfully operated a business in New Zealand for at least two years (or six months under certain circumstances). Applicants must show that their business is benefiting the country by creating jobs, contributing to the economy, or bringing innovation.
The Permanent Resident Visa allows individuals to live in New Zealand indefinitely. It is usually granted after holding a resident visa for at least two years and meeting certain requirements, such as demonstrating commitment to New Zealand through employment, business investment, or family ties.
The Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa is for skilled workers who meet specific criteria based on their age, qualifications, work experience, and job offer in New Zealand. Applicants are assessed on a points-based system, and those with higher points are prioritized. This visa provides a pathway to residency for highly skilled individuals in demand in New Zealand.
The Straight to Residence Visa is available for individuals working in jobs that are on New Zealand’s Green List (high-demand occupations). These individuals can apply directly for residency without needing to go through a work visa stage, making it a fast-track option for skilled workers.
The Work to Residence Visa is a two-step process where individuals first obtain a work visa, then transition to residency after working for a specified time (usually two years) in a job listed on the Green List or under specific conditions. This visa is ideal for those who want to work first and then settle permanently in New Zealand.
Green List Roles refer to high-demand occupations in New Zealand, such as healthcare, engineering, and IT. Workers in these roles can apply for residency through special visa pathways like the Straight to Residence or Work to Residence visas. The Green List is designed to fill critical labor shortages in New Zealand.
These resident visas offer pathways to long-term settlement in New Zealand for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and individuals working in critical industries, helping the country grow its workforce and economy.
