Working Towards Residence in New Zealand

Working temporarily in New Zealand can be used as a step towards gaining residence and settling here permanently.

If your talents are needed by New Zealand employers, or you have exceptional talent in the arts, culture or sports, you can apply to work in New Zealand under our Work to Residence category.

Skilled Migrant Category

The Skilled Migrant Category is the main path to residence in New Zealand. It is designed to make sure that people migrating to New Zealand have the skills the country needs. This category works on a points system. Points are earned on the basis of your qualifications, work experience and job, or job offer, in New Zealand.

Business and Investment Category

The New Zealand government has recently made some extremely significant changes to policy in this area to streamline approvals and make it easier for investors to come to New Zealand and build successful businesses here.
