Expert Residence Class Visa Guidance

New Zealand Residence Programme Overview

The New Zealand Residence Programme (NZRP) aims to contribute to economic growth by enhancing human capability, encouraging enterprise and innovation, fostering international links, and maintaining a high level of social cohesion. 
 

Residence class visas are available under the Skilled/Business, Family, and Humanitarian streams. Residence applications are subject to a high level of scrutiny and require careful eligibility assessment, strong supporting evidence, and accurate representation of facts.
