Resident Visa
We assist our clients to obtain Resident Visa in the following categories:
Skilled Migrant Category (SMC)
Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) is the most important category of New Zealand residence. Under this category, residence will be granted to people who can demonstrate that they have the skills to fill identified needs and opportunities in New Zealand, and are able to transfer those skills in line with local needs and opportunities.
Plus applicants will need to satisfy immigration officer that they are able to settle successfully in New Zealand.
Resident Visa under Skilled Migrant Category is a point-based system and applicants will need to meet the point threshold. The overall points are based on a range of factors, such as applicant’s age, work experience, employment and qualifications. Contact us to get a free assessment to find out if you have enough points for this category.
Partnership-Based Resident Visa
If your partner is a New Zealand resident or citizen, you may apply for resident visa based on your relationship, providing you meet relevant requirements. Applicant will need to demonstrate that the relationship is genuine and stable, plus will need to meet relationship length requirements. Apart from that, applicants will also need to meet health and character requirements.
Parent Category
If you are a New Zealand resident or citizen, you may sponsor your parents to join you in New Zealand and become residents. In order to do so, you or/and your partner will need to meet minimum income threshold requirements.
