Immigration journeys have life-changing consequences, and helping someone achieve their dream is what gets us out of bed in the morning. Our client's success is our success.

The application process is completed online and begins with the submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI). In your EOI, you provide details about yourself and explain how you meet the requirements of one of the three Skilled Migrant residence pathways. There is no fee to submit an EOI.

If you appear eligible, Immigration New Zealand will immediately issue an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for residence. You then have four months to lodge your residence application, upload all supporting documents, and pay the application fee of $6,450.

Assuming a complete application with no issues requiring further investigation, we expect most applications to be processed within approximately 2-4 months, although processing times will vary depending on application volumes and case complexity.

The new SMC pathways create exciting opportunities for many migrant workers, international graduates and employers. However, the rules are more complex than many people realise. Residence eligibility can depend on factors such as your occupation, qualifications, current and historical payrates and New Zealand and overseas work experience.

Every situation is different. Before making important career or residence decisions, it is worth obtaining professional advice to understand which pathway may be available to you and when you may qualify.

📞 Contact the Pathways team for a personalised Skilled Migrant Residence Assessment and discover how the new SMC settings may apply to you.
