Migrate to New Zealand

Immigrating to New Zealand is a very easy and approachable process for the skilled applicants with sufficient Experience and Qualifications. You can apply under Skilled Migrant Category (SMC). It offers you the opportunity to move to New Zealand to work and live permanently.

To decide if you can apply we use a points system. You get points for age, experience, employability and qualifications.

You complete an Expression of Interest, telling us about yourself, your family, your skills and your experience. If you have enough points, we accept your Expression of Interest, and send you an Invitation to Apply. You complete it, and return it to us with your supporting documents.
