Here is everything you need to know about eligibility and points for the New Zealand Skill Migrant Visa System.

Beginning the next month, New Zealand will reopen two immigration channels: the Parent Resident Visa and the Skilled Migrant Visa.

The most common visa route for immigrants and their families to live in New Zealand is through the Skilled Migrant Category.

The Skilled Migrant Category resident visa permits applicants to bring their partner and dependent children under the age of 24 as well as live, work, and study in New Zealand for an extended period of time.

The Skilled Migrant Category seeks to draw qualified immigrants who have a track record of boosting New Zealand's economy.

A points-based system is used, and many factors, including age, education, work experience, and employment offers in New Zealand, can each be used to collect points. If an applicant receives at least 160 points and satisfies the necessary health and character conditions, their Expression of Interest (EOI) will be accepted and they will be invited to apply (ITA) for residence.

You must meet the following requirements in order to qualify for residency under SMC:

a) Be 55 years of age or younger

b) Have a job or job offer in New Zealand that calls for specialized, technical, or management expertise, experience, and credentials.

Expression of interest

You must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), either electronically or on paper, in order to be considered for a Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa.

Immigration authorities will periodically choose candidates from applications after you submit you’re EOI and ask applicants to apply for the visa. Depending on how many points they give you, they'll decide whether or not to ask you to apply.

The Points System

The data will be used by Immigration New Zealand to evaluate your eligibility using a points system. They are only taking into account EOIs from candidates who have at least 180 points (or 160 points for their selection on November 9, 2022). The details you include in your EOI will determine how many points you receive.

1) If you have a job or job offer in New Zealand that calls for specialized, technical, or managerial knowledge, you can claim 50–60 points for skilled employment.

2) A minimum of two years of work experience in the same industry as your skilled employment is also worth points.

3) A range of trade certifications, diplomas, bachelor's degrees, and post-graduate credentials are eligible for 40–60 points. Additionally, qualifying can get you extra points.

4) The minimum and maximum age points are 5 and 30, respectively. The points increase with decreasing age.

5) If a member of your immediate family resides in New Zealand or holds New Zealand citizenship, you can receive 10 points.
