Skilled Migrant Category - Permanent Residence
The Skilled Migrant Category is for people thinking of working and living permanently in New Zealand: gaining Permanent Residence. New Zealand is looking for people with the skills to help us achieve sustainable growth and contribute to an innovative work force.
Work to Residence
