Work to Residence Visa New Zealand

New Zealand is the land of the brave and the mighty, No people are not gladiators here we are the prosperity warriors. People here love to balance work and life. That's the top priority here. Ambition should always go hand in hand with personal holistic growth. This trait of Kiwi people is well-known worldwide. That's what attracts a huge lot of migrant population to New Zealand.

There are many options by which a person can enter the Kiwi soil to work. Trust our word for this, once a person gets hang of the Kiwi way of life he would never want to go back to his parent country. Our post for today has a strong focus on this phenomenon. That's why we would be discussing work to residence visa New Zealand today.

This category is a great way to ‘upgrade’ from a temporary work visa to a residence visa. As a resident, you’ll be able to stay in New Zealand indefinitely and access most publicly funded services.
To be eligible you’ll need to:
  • have been in New Zealand on a Work to Residence visa for two years
  • meet health and character requirements
You’ll also need to satisfy the requirements of one of the following two pathways:

From an Accredited Employer work visa

If you were granted a temporary work visa to allow you to work for an accredited employer in New Zealand, you can apply for a residence class visa under Residence from Work (Accredited Employers) Category. These visas are known as Talent (Accredited Employer) visas.
To be eligible you’ll need to:
  • have held a Talent (Accredited Employer) Work visa for at least 24 months
  • have been employed full time for that period by an accredited employer
  • be currently employed and have a base salary of at least NZ$55,000 per year
hold full or provisional registration to practice in your occupation in New Zealand (if applicable)

From a Long Term Skill Shortage List work visa

If you were granted a temporary work visa to allow you to work for an employer in New Zealand in an occupation on the Long Term Skill Shortage List, you can apply for residence under Long Term Skill Shortage List Category.
To be eligible you’ll need to:
  • have held a Long Term Skill Shortage List Work visa for at least 24 months
  • have been employed full time for that period in an occupation on the Long Term Skill Shortage List.
  • be currently employed and have a base salary of at least NZ$45,000 per year
  • be aged 55 years or younger
  • hold full or provisional registration to practice in your occupation in New Zealand (if applicable).
The above-mentioned pointers are sourced from the public domain information of New Zealand Immigration, we would like to notify this to our readers that there have been some recent changes in the rules, and it would be in your best interest to get in touch with a licensed immigration adviser for further consultation.
