What is the process?
New Zealand Shores will help you determine the ideal pathway to achieving your migration goals.
Moving to New Zealand can be made easier! Many of our clients follow the plan below and secure residence in New Zealand through the employment pathway (a job offer in New Zealand). There may be minor variations depending on your profile, skillset, and your job opportunities in New Zealand.
How easy is it to emigrate to New Zealand? For most people, the process involves:
- a job offer
- a temporary (work) visa application
- a residence visa application
New Zealand Shores assists you from day one, throughout the documentation stage, your job search endeavours, the visa process, and more!
