New Zealand

Population 4 million   Land Mass 268,000 sq miles   Similar size to the UK 

~ United Kingdom population 60 million, land mass 245.000 sq miles ~

New Zealand's people and culture are the result of over 150 years of migration. Kiwis call it 'Godzone' – God’s Own Country, because they know it’s the best place in the world to live. This belief is consistently backed up by research, where New Zealand’s major cities are currently listed among the top places in the world to live. A wide variety of climates and beautiful scenery in a relatively small country make exploration of the whole country a real opportunity.

Since its move towards a more industrialised, free market economy, New Zealand now competes on a global scale and its inflation is amongst the lowest in the world.

Excellent health and education services with a very low crime rate provide a secure environment and make New Zealand a very attractive destination.

Worldwide research

 

Professionals and skilled workers

In most cases you would need to have gained a formal qualification such as a degree or trade qualifications confirming completion of an apprenticeship. Equivalent qualifications and experience can often be taken into account when assessing an individual’s ability – this is often the case for Tradespersons.

Individuals with exceptional skills, knowledge or standing can qualify to migrate. Typically these individuals would be at the top of their profession or art and probably known internationally

In many cases applicants will need a suitable job offer to meet the immigration criteria

The lead applicant must be under the age of 56 years at time of application.

Business owners and investors

If you have a business or investor background there are two routes to consider. Successful Business Owners and Experienced Executives have the opportunity to apply for special business visas. Individuals must be able to demonstrate their ability and be able to support any future opportunities that they wish to develop with funds and quality business plans.

Investors need to demonstrate a track record of successful investment and to have the funds available for further development/to live on. The minimum assets required is currently NZ$2,500,000.

Family and Relationships

Individuals within this group need a member of their family overseas to sponsor them. The rules are varied and normally only apply to immediate family members.

Those engaged or in a de facto relationship with a citizen or permanent resident can also apply to emigrate.
