NEW ZEALAND Skilled Migrant Category


If you have skills, qualifications or experience that New Zealand needs you may be able to apply for a resident visa under the Skilled Migrant Category.

The Skilled Migrant Category is a points system based on factors such as age, work experience, your qualifications, and an offer of skilled employment. You must also be aged 55 or under, and meet English language, health, and character requirements.

How it works

1. Self assessment

Check you meet the requirements and calculate your points


2. Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI)

Note the fees and offices information
Submit an EOI online

3. Receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA)

If you have 160 points or more you'll be selected from the EOI pool and be sent an ITA

4. Submit a resident application

Note the fees and offices information

Submit your resident application within six months on the form we provide you with

5. Receive your visa

If successful, you'll be issued either a resident visa or job search visa

Common mistakes to avoid
Skilled Migrant Category applicants often make these mistakes that result in fewer points being recognised:

Qualifications not recognised

If you’re claiming points for your qualifications they need to either be on the List of Qualifications Exempt from Assessment or have been assessed by NZQA.

Work experience not comparable

If you’re claiming points for work experience it must be in the same field as your qualification and job/job offer. If you don’t have a job or job offer then this experience also needs to be in a comparable labour market, in an occupation on the Long Term Skill Shortage List or for a multinational company.

Bonus point requirements not met

To claim qualification and work experience bonus points you need to meet the strict requirements outlined on the Long Term Skill Shortage List.

Immigration New Zealand accepts OET, PTE, IELTS, FCE, TOFEL for visa purposes



Immigration New Zealand announced on 11 October that it will accept PTE, IELTS, FCE, TOFEL as proof of English proficiency for all visa categories where an English language test result may be required.

The People says: “We applaud Immigration New Zealand for giving Various Test candidates the chance to use their test results for their visa application. We share the common vision of supporting healthcare professionals to successfully contribute within the New Zealand healthcare system”.

The New Zealand Immigration website states that hospitals and practices across New Zealand are looking for doctors, midwives, surgeons and 36 other healthcare occupations. It’s estimated that New Zealand will need 380 extra specialists every year to meet the OECD average by 2021, and up to 25,000 more nurses by 2030.

What if I’ve already applied under the Skilled Migrant Category?


If you’ve already applied, the requirements that were in place on the date you made your application will continue to apply to you. You don’t need to meet the new point threshold and the new requirements for English language evidence do not apply to you.

I think I can meet the new points threshold, but I was planning to use my one year of skilled employment in New Zealand as evidence of meeting the English language requirement, so what do the changes to English language mean for me?
If you are invited to apply, you will need to provide an English test if you do not meet any of the other new requirements. If you apply after 21 November, you can use one of the new tests. Your invitation to apply requires you to apply within four months, so you should make sure you organise your test soon after being invited.

What scores will be required on the new English language tests? Where can I find out more information about the tests?

More information scores required for each test are listed below, along with the websites of each testing providers. Remember that if you lodge your application before 21 November 2016 IELTS is the only test INZ can accept.

English language tests are valid for two years from the date they were sat.
