Information on Immigration and Visas

Expressions of Interest are pooled and then ranked by the New Zealand Immigration Service. Those with the highest number of points will be invited to lodge an Application for Residence in New Zealand. It is not a first in, first serve basis. Applicants will then need to send all the necessary documents to support the Expression of Interest.

The key to success under this class is meeting the prerequisites as outlined above AND arranging a relevant, valid skilled job offer in New Zealand. Recent changes to the SMC policy now mean that applicants with skilled jobs in New Zealand or an offer of skilled employment prior to applying have a great likelihood of being selected and invited to apply for residence. Applicants are strongly advised to engage the services of a recognised migration consultancy with a job search or employment office in New Zealand, as they will be able to assist you with the lodgement and processing of your visa application as well as the co-ordination of job leads/interviews in New Zealand. Past experience has shown that this is the most successful approach which will lead to the required written job offer and ultimately the granting of permanent residence visas.
