Points-Based System: The Skilled Migrant Category visa operates on a points-based system. Applicants must score a minimum number of points to be eligible. Points are awarded based on factors such as age, work experience, qualifications, and job offer in New Zealand.
Age: Applicants must be under 56 years of age to be eligible for the Skilled Migrant Category visa. Age points are awarded based on the applicant's age at the time of application.
Skill Assessment: Applicants must have their skills assessed by the relevant New Zealand qualification authority to ensure that their qualifications and work experience meet the standards required for their nominated occupation.
English Language Proficiency: Proficiency in English is essential for applicants to effectively communicate and integrate into New Zealand society. Applicants may need to provide evidence of their English language proficiency through recognized tests such as IELTS.
Health and Character Requirements: Applicants must meet certain health and character requirements. They may need to undergo a medical examination and provide police clearance certificates from countries where they have lived for a certain period.
Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI): If you meet the eligibility criteria, you must submit an EOI through the INZ website. The EOI includes information about your skills, qualifications, work experience, and other relevant details. Based on the information provided, you will be assigned a points score.
Wait for Selection: EOIs are ranked based on the points score. Periodically, INZ conducts draws where they select EOIs with the highest scores from the pool. If your EOI is selected, you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the Skilled Migrant Category visa.
Receive the Invitation to Apply (ITA): Once you receive an ITA, you have a limited time to submit a formal visa application. The ITA will provide instructions on how to proceed with your application, including any additional documents required.
Gather Required Documents: Collect all necessary documents to support your visa application. These may include proof of identity, qualifications, employment history, English language proficiency test results, health assessments, and police clearance certificates.
Submit Visa Application: Complete the visa application form accurately and submit it along with all required documents to INZ. Pay the applicable visa application fee at the time of submission.
