Frequently asked questions

  • For most Resident Visa categories under the skilled pathway, there is an age limit of 56 years…when you turn 56 you no longer qualify. There are no limits for most temporary Visas and for all family based Resident Visas.

  • For most applicants looking to move here based on their skills, having a job offer in New Zealand will be crucial. However there are a variety of Visa pathways depending on the job you can secure and also your skills, experience and potential earnings.

  • Turner Hopkins Services is a specialist immigration consultancy, providing advice on the Visa process, and how to navigate the various options available from Immigration New Zealand. We don’t offer direct recruitment serviecs, but we do support our clietns in the job search, assisting them with the where and how to look. We provide advice on CV’s cover letters and interview techniques as well.

  • For some, yes you can still make the move and secure Residence without having a degree or diploma although it is obviously not as easy. We have various Visa pathways that lead to Residence and are based on your earning potential in New Zealand or you being able to work your way to Residence.

  • Whilst we do still have some categories that lead to Residence once you have a Work Visa (called a Work to Residence pathway), most Work Visas don’t provide you with an automatic Resident Visa approval. Securing a Work Visa is often the first part of the process to secure Residence, but it is not the only process.

Different Visa pathways
