Residence Visa

(skilled/partnership/family categories/investor)

You need a resident visa if you intend to stay in New Zealand permanently. There are several routes to get a resident visa, many of which begin with a temporary one that lets you enter New Zealand to work, study, or run a business. Some visas, such as those issued under the category for skilled immigrants, provide you residence immediately. Any requirements imposed by your visa must be met if you don't want your road to permanent residency to be blocked.

Before relocating to New Zealand permanently, you should think about the types of visas you may be qualified for and whether they will allow you to live there indefinitely. Additionally, you must be certain that you are prepared to relocate to New Zealand because you will need time to fulfil the restrictions of your visitor or resident visa.

Temporary visa

Work/Student/Visitor/limited purpose)

For a specific amount of time, temporary visas allow holders to work, study, and travel to New Zealand; in rare situations, they can also pave the way for permanent residency. While you wait for your application for permanent residence to be approved, you may be given a temporary visa for New Zealand.

You can get assistance from New Zealand Shores with the following short-term visas:

  • Working Holiday Visa
  • Work to Residence Visa
  • Family Visa
  • Partnership visa
  • Student Visa
  • Visitor Visa
NEW ZEALAND WORKING HOLIDAY

The working holiday programme enables young travellers to visit New Zealand while having the option to have a side job to help pay for their travel expenses.

WORK TO RESIDENCE VISA

Work to residency is originally a temporary work permit that, after being used for employment for at least 24 months, can result in permanent residence in New Zealand.

FAMILY VISA

You may qualify for a temporary and/or permanent residence visa under this category if you have family who live continuously in New Zealand or if you are in a relationship with a citizen or resident of New Zealand.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS WORK VISA

The most popular work visa, allowing for 1 to 5 years of employment in New Zealand

NEW ZEALAND STUDENT VISA

To study or attend school in New Zealand, all students who are not New Zealand citizens or permanent residents must submit an application for a student visa.

NEW ZEALAND VISITOR VISA

With a New Zealand visitor's visa, you are able to travel to New Zealand for vacation or to see family and friends.

Business Visas

This is a visa for seasoned businesspeople who want to work for themselves in their own company in New Zealand. It enables you to buy a business or launch your own for the first nine months that it is granted. Before submitting an application for a permanent visa, a subsequent extension of up to three years might be available.

A special business visiting visa is available for businesspeople who want to enter New Zealand to conduct business consultations or talks in order to start or expand a business there. Similar to sales reps, this special visa may also be available to foreign corporations with a presence in New Zealand.

Senior business leaders from foreign corporations who have a New Zealand subsidiary are welcome to engage on short-term initiatives there. If they are transferred to New Zealand as part of an intra-corporate transferee, senior managers, executives, and expert personnel of multinational firms will also be eligible for special work visas.

Appeals/Reviews

Acting swiftly is crucial if you want to stay in New Zealand after your visa application has been rejected or if something occurs that causes you to no longer meet the requirements for your visa.

There are procedures for appealing and disputing visa denials, as well as options to obtain a visa issued under specific instructions. Using a trained and licenced immigration adviser can increase your chances of success because a successful appeal is based on a legal challenge rather than an emotional plea. There are typically very tight conditions for these appeals and reviews to succeed. The best method to present a compelling legal argument for your position is to apply for a visa. Sad explanations for why you can't return home rarely result in a visa being granted because INZ has the discretion to do so.

It is vitally crucial to get in touch with us as soon as possible if you want to appeal or request a review after INZ rejected your visa application. There are very strict time restrictions on when you can request a review, and the validity of your present visa may also be significant. Waiting too long could result in you losing your chance to appeal and being deported. Depending on your circumstance, you may occasionally need to be present in New Zealand illegally before filing an appeal.
