Some immigration policy specific terms used in the table are explained on our website and can be found by clicking on them.
If you score 100 points or more and meet health, character, language and age requirements, you might be eligible for a resident visa under Skilled Migrant Category.
However, as only those Expressions of Interest with the highest point scores are selected from the Pool, it is of great importance to claim as many points as possible to improve your chances.
Please note that most applicants will not be able to score 100 points without having obtained a job offer in New Zealand.
Because a job offer is an important pre-requisit for most residence applications, New Zealand Immigration Concepts is working hand in hand with the job search specialists at jobs4migrants, providing seamless assistance with your migration.
We are more than happy to assess your chances and give you a realistic idea of what might be involved for you and your family to obtain your resident visas.
