Resident visa - New Rules and updates.


Is the PR points-based resident visa rule change can we not apply anymore from outside of New Zealand?

Ans. I think it's very clear that the resident visa category went to our very interesting revamped last year so it's become practically impossible for many people who apply to get a direct resident visa unless and until they have skilled employment in New Zealand or an offer of skilled employment in New Zealand or they have studied in New Zealand and them hire for two years and they have a masters or a Ph.D. acquired locally if you do not have that and even if you get the required 160 points the government is not giving a direct resident we so what they're doing is they're giving something called the still migrant's category job search visa which was allowed only the main applicant, not the family only the main applicant will be allowed to come into the country and while you're here on a legitimate job search visa you can go around looking for work and if you're able to find a job then you take off that rule which says okay you have skilled employment in New Zealand so they're a bit more difficult and I think the reason they have made it a bit more tougher is because obviously, we are growing in popularity as a destination more and more people want to come to New Zealand so when the demand is so high for people to come to New Zealand so the government can tweak its policies and ensure we're attracting the right people and also kind of keep raising the bar a little bit and which is where a company like AJV can be very useful in giving you a proper assessment.
