What is the New Zealand Skilled Work Visa?

The Skilled Work Visa is designed for individuals who have a job offer from a New Zealand employer and whose occupation is listed on the country's skills shortage list or requires specific expertise. It allows skilled workers to live and work in New Zealand temporarily, with the possibility of transitioning to permanent residency after meeting the required criteria.

Key Benefits of the Skilled Work Visa:

• Live and Work: Stay in New Zealand for the duration of your visa, working in your skilled occupation.
• Pathway to Residency: After holding a Skilled Work Visa for 2 years and meeting certain conditions, you may be eligible to apply for a Resident Visa under the Skilled Migrant Category.
• Family Support:Your partner and dependent children can join you in New Zealand under specific conditions, making it easier to relocate as a family.
• Competitive Salary: New Zealand's labour market offers competitive salaries for skilled workers, with a high standard of living.
• Work in Demand Sectors: Opportunities are available in a wide range of industries, including IT, healthcare, engineering, construction, and more.
