Skilled Migrant Resident Visa
There are 3 skills-based pathways that allow you to get New Zealand residence if you meet the eligibility criteria:
- Skilled Migrant Resident pathway
- Green List pathway through the Straight to Residence Visa and Work to Residence Visa
- Care Workforce and Transport Sector Agreement pathways
Some of the visas on these pathways allow you to apply for residence straight away, such as the Straight to Residence Visa. Other pathways may require you to work in New Zealand before you can apply for residence, such as the Work to Residence Visa.
Navigating the Skilled -based resident visa process can be challenging. Consulting a trusted and experienced licensed immigration adviser can help clarify your eligibility and ensure a smoother application experience.

Every year, only 2,500 parents get approved, and the selection is random.
