At IMM Consult, we noticed that Immigration to New Zealand from the UAE has become a growing interest for ambitious professionals. Renowned for New Zealand’s beautiful landscapes, along with the quality of life, opportunities and welcoming immigration policies, the country shows a compelling prospect for those who seek a fresh start. New Zealand attracts global talent through specific pathways, and understanding these options can turn your migration aspirations into reality. In this article, we will help you understand five exclusive visa categories that could pave the way for you to make New Zealand your new home.
1. Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa
For many immigrant planners, the Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa represents a direct pathway to permanent residency in New Zealand. This system functions on a points-based structure while evaluating factors such as your age, qualifications, work experience and employability. Think of it as building a strong profile that represents your value to New Zealand’s economy and society. High-demand proffessions such as engineering, IT, healthcare and finance often collect significant points. Achieving permanent residency through this route opens doors to countless opportunities for you, including the possibility of New Zealand citizenship.
At IMM Consults, we understand the intricacies of the point system inside and out. We’re here to guide you through the submission of EOI (Expression of Interest), ensuring your profile accurately reflects your skills and experiences.
2. Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV)
The Accredited Employer Work Visa has become a route for skilled individuals seeking to work in New Zealand. Recent policy updates have further simplified this process for UAE professionals with New Zealand-accredited employer job offers. Most importantly, if your job is on the Green List, this visa offers a fast path to becoming a New Zealand resident. Our team at IMM Consult plays a crucial role in connecting you with accredited employers and ensuring your visa application perfectly meets the requirements.
3. The Green List Pathway Visa
The Green List Pathway Visa is a game-changer for professionals in specific high-demand roles. This list is divided mainly into 2 tiers.
Tier 1: offers a direct pathway to residency
Tier 2: provides a route to residency after a period of working in the specified occupation.
If you’re a doctor, a civil engineer, an IT specialist with particular expertise, or another professional on this crucial list, this pathway could be your fastest ticket to long-term settlement in New Zealand.
4. Entrepreneur Work Visa
The Entrepreneur Work Visa presents an exciting opportunity to our dynamic UAE professionals with a proven track record in business and a desire to innovate. This visa is looking for individuals planning to establish and run a high-growth innovative business in New Zealand with a good investment. For this, key criteria include a robust business plan, sufficient investment capital and your potential to contribute to the economy of New Zealand.
5. Post Study Work Visa (for UAE Nationals Studying in NZ)
