Residence from Work

The objective of the Residence from Work Category is to enable the grant of residence class visas to people whose talents are needed by New Zealand employers, people with exceptional talent in a field of art, culture or sport and people working in areas of identified absolute occupational shortage in New Zealand.

The criteria for an application under this policy are complex. Just to name a few:

Applicants

  • must have held a work visa for at least 24 months under this specific category,
  • must have worked in New Zealand for at least 24 months for an accredited employer and a minimum base salary,
  • must have been actively involved in their declared field of art, culture or sport and are sponsored by a New Zealand organisation of national repute,
  • must have been employed in New Zealand in a profession which is included in the Long Term Skill Shortage List.

To find out whether you might be eligible for Permanent Residence under the Residence from Work policy:

"We look forward to hearing from you."
