Work To Residence

If you meet the criteria, and it is believed you will settle successfully and contribute to New Zealand, you will be offered a residence visa or permit.

If they think you have potential, but want to see how you settle, they'll give you a work to residence visa or permit, which you can use to help obtain an offer of skilled employment in New Zealand for up to nine months.

If you obtain skilled employment in this time you will have shown your ability to settle and contribute, and your residence application will be approved. If you don’t meet the residence policy criteria they will decline your application for residence.

This is where experience counts. We, as your chosen professionals, have one very simple obligation to each and every client - look after every client's interest at all times. Within this obligation lies our responsibility to utilise our legal knowledge and vast experience to apply New Zealand's rules and regulations to your circumstances.

Don't jeopardise your plans for New Zealand by trying to save a little on the professional advice. This is what we do day-in, day-out as New Zealand's largest migration firm so why not complete the free assessment and let us consider your circumstances.
