New Zealand offers a range of Resident Visa categories, including opportunities for those that are skilled and employable, those who would like to invest here and others who may be coming to join family. Often the biggest challenge is trying to work out which pathway is the best for you. Let us navigate that choice with you.
Assisting you with a new life in New Zealand
New Zealand is a great place to work and live with opportunities for those that are skilled and employable, those looking to reunite with family or those who plan to invest or operate a business here. Our Residence pathways are broadly broken down in to the following streams:
• Skilled Migrant - Points System (SMC 6)
• Skilled Migrant - Straight to Residence and Work to Residence
• Family Residence - For Partners and Dependent Children
• Investment - The Active Investor Visa
• Parent Category - Parent Ballot System
• Parent Retirement - For Parents with funds to invest
Within each of the above categories there are various options and criteria and often, the hardest part is trying to work out which Visa applies to you and whether you qualify.
Our first priority for anyone looking to make the move is to assess them against the most appropriate category and then ensure they meet all of the various criteria in place. Once we have completed that process, we can map out a strategy to achieve your immigration goal.
