Immigration to New Zealand
courtesy immigration.govt.nz
New Zealand welcomes new migrants – people who will
contribute to our country by bringing valuable skills or
qualifications, setting up a business, or making a financial
investment. We also offer opportunities for family reunification by
allowing residents and citizens to sponsor family members for
residence.
Skilled Migrant Category
The Skilled Migrant Category is the main path to residence in
New Zealand. It is designed to make sure that people migrating to
New Zealand have the skills the country needs. This category works
on a points system. Points are earned on the basis of your
qualifications, work experience and job, or job offer, in New
Zealand.
Business and Investment Category
If you’re thinking of investing or establishing a business in New
Zealand, we can offer business advantages and an environment that
you’ll enjoy as well.
Family Categories
Many people already settled in New Zealand wish their close
family to join them, and family members, often alone, wish to come
to New Zealand to be close to relatives. We have a range of family
policies facilitating partners, dependent children, parents,
siblings or adult children of New Zealand citizens or residents to
come to live in New Zealand.
Refugee Family Support Category
The Refugee Family Support Category allows New Zealanders who were
granted residence as refugees to sponsor a family member and that
person's partner and dependent children for New Zealand residence.
Each year there are 300 places available.
Other opportunities
You may like to consider other ways you can apply to come to New
Zealand for a short time to visit or study or to come here to live
or work.
