Am I eligible for a New Zealand Skilled Migrant Visa?
 
Your eligibility for a New Zealand Skilled Migration Visa is based on a skills test in which you must score at least 100 points to be able to submit your expression of interest. You get extra points if you have a partner who also wants to migrate to New Zealand and has enough points.

Points in the NZ Skilled Migrant Visa skills test are based on:
  • Employability
  • Work experience
  • Qualifications
  • Family ties
  • Age

The major groups of skilled occupations for the New Zealand Skilled Migration Visa are:
  • Group 1: Legislators, administrators and managers
  • Group 2: Professionals
  • Group 3: Technicians and associate professionals
  • Group 7: Trades workers

Nurses, Social Workers, Engineers, Motor Mechanics, Electricians, Welders, Fabricators and Metal Workers are in particularly high demand in New Zealand at present.

It is not a requirement for you to already have a job offer in New Zealand in order to apply for this New Zealand Work Visa, but it is looked on favourably by the New Zealand Immigration Service.
