New Zealand is among the top ten countries in the World Happiness Report and second in rank on the Global Peace Index. These statistics speak for themselves, boasting about the high quality of life available to all those living, studying and working in New Zealand. For many, this combined with the picturesque scenery and climate is no less than a dream come true. The scenery is also famously pictured in the Lord of the Rings film.

New Zealand is an island just off the Eastern coast of Australia in the region. The country is divided into two main islands commonly referred to as the North and South. The locals are the friendliest you’ll see, welcoming newcomers with open arms and wide smiles.

World Consultants Pvt. Ltd. can help you apply for the following visa:

Skilled Migrant Visa

This type of visa requires an invitation, so applicants must send an Expression of Interest (EOI), where you claim points for your skills, job and circumstances. This is how the government of New Zealand gets to know you and how you may contribute to the country as a resident. EOIs are generally assessed according to this point based system and if you meet the minimum requirement of points (160) you shall be invited to apply for a Skilled Migrant visa.

You must also be under 55 years of age and be proficient in the English language. The most attractive thing about this type of visa however, is that its validity is indefinite and dependent upon your employment in New Zealand. You may also include your partner and any children under the age of 24 as a part of your application.

If you meet the minimum number of points in relation to your EOI, you will be sent an invitation to apply for this visa in the next few months. Once invited to apply, you shall have four months to submit your application.

There is a priority system in place to sort out applications and if you meet the official requirements your case shall be prioritized. It may take anywhere between 20-23 months to process your application.

The specific time it takes can vary, which is why we recommend that you get in touch with us here and our team of experts will get you the latest information on visa applications and processing timelines.
