• Straight to Residence Visa NZ

These routes are designed for skilled individuals who contribute to New Zealand’s economy and community. NZIES ensures you fully understand which pathway best suits your situation and goals.

Understanding the Work to Residence Visa NZ

The Work to Residence Visa is ideal for individuals currently employed in New Zealand or those planning to work in roles that are in high demand. This pathway typically allows qualified workers to gain residence after working for a set period with an eligible employer or in an eligible occupation.

At NZIES, we explain the eligibility criteria, employment requirements, and supporting documents needed to make your application strong. Our team helps you track your progress toward residence and ensures you are prepared for the transition to becoming a permanent resident of New Zealand.

The Straight to Residence Visa NZ: A Fast-Track Option

For those who fall under specific skilled or highly paid occupations, the Straight to Residence Visa NZ offers a faster, more direct pathway to residency. Instead of waiting for two years of work experience in New Zealand, eligible applicants can apply for residence immediately, provided they meet the criteria.

NZIES helps you determine whether you qualify under this category based on your job role, pay rate, and employer accreditation. Our expert advisors make the process seamless by guiding you through each requirement, ensuring your application is complete, accurate, and aligned with New Zealand immigration regulations.
