Steps towards gaining residence in New Zealand

Siva Shanker Rajadurai

Working temporarily in New Zealand can be used as a step towards gaining residence and settling here permanently. 

If your talents are needed by New Zealand employers, or you have exceptional talent in the arts, culture or sports, you can apply to work in New Zealand under the Work to Residence category. 

If you are already in New Zealand on a Work to Residence permit, after two years you can apply for residence.

Which policy you apply under depends on your occupation and your circumstances.

Your choice of lawyer to attend to your immigration needs is an important decision.  For relevant service or for more information please contact a friendly Auckland lawyer at Quay Law.
