New Zealand Skilled Migrant Visa: job offer and 6 points
Immigration New Zealand’s Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa lets skilled workers and eligible family settle indefinitely, with fees from NZD 6,450 and a six-point path.
The Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa allows indefinite living, work and study in New Zealand, with spouse or partner and dependent children aged 24 or younger includable if they meet rules.
Applicants must be 55 or younger, meet health, character and English requirements, and hold a full-time skilled job or offer from an accredited New Zealand employer.
Under the points pathway, six skilled resident points are needed via qualifications, occupational registration or income; New Zealand skilled work experience can add points.
Application fee starts from NZD 6,450 and may vary by circumstances and country; Expression of Interest (EOI) submission has no fee.
After two consecutive years on a resident visa, holders may apply for a Permanent Resident Visa if they meet eligibility and commitment requirements.
