Residence Visas
A residence visa grants you the right to live and work in New Zealand indefinitely, with access to essential services like healthcare and education. The most common pathway to residency is the Skilled Migrant Residence, which includes categories such as Straight to Residence, Work to Residence, and the revised Points-Based Residence—each based on your job offer and personal circumstances.
It's crucial to apply under the correct category and meet all required criteria to maximize your chances of success. All categories now include mandatory English language requirements, as well as health and character assessments.
For current residents looking to bring family members to New Zealand, Family Category visas are available for Partners, Dependents, and Parents.
Whether you're ready to apply for residency now or want to develop a long-term plan, I can provide expert guidance every step of the way.
