• Green List Visa

    The New Zealand government has simplified the visa pathways for the most in demand jobs and created an immigration green list of 85 occupations with guaranteed residency.

     

     

  • These roles provide a priority pathway to residency in New Zealand

     

    From July 31st 2022, if you work in one of the Green List occupations, meet the eligibility criteria and have a job offer from an accredited employer, you can come to New Zealand on a work visa and from 5 September 2022, apply for residence.

  • What is the new green list visa?

    It's a visa for 89 occupations that either qualify skilled migrants for a fast-track to residence, or give access to a work-to-residence pathway.

    If your occupation doesn’t qualify for the fast-track

    to residence, you will need to work in New Zealand for two years before applying for residence via the work-to-residence pathway.

     

    Employers will be able to hire skilled migrants on an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) and complete the job check stage without advertising, if the minimum requirements for their role meet the minimum requirements on the Green List or if the role is paid at least twice the median wage.
