What if I don't Qualify?
What if I do not qualify for Residence in New Zealand?
If you do not qualify now for the Residence class visa for New Zealand, there is nothing to despair. We are here to guide you and show you other routes which also finally lead there in due course of time.
Where there is a will, there is certainly a way out. These are some of the possible options available for those who are not eligible to migrate immediately:
- You could come to New Zealand for Higher Education, and later take up a skilled job and settle down as a migrant
- You could try to get a Job Offer from an employer in New Zealand and apply for Residence based on the Job Offer
- People aged between 18 and 30 years from an arrangement country may be eligible to experience life in New Zealand on a Working Holiday visa
- People aged between 20 and 35 years who hold a NZQA recognised qualification may be eligible to apply for the Silver Fern Job Search Work visa (subject to meeting the Policy)
- You might be eligible for a short-term seasonal work opportunity in regional areas of New Zealand in specific shortage industries
- You could attempt to get a temporary Work Permit for New Zealand based on your work experience and the local skills in demand
- If you are a business owner or an entrepreneur willing to invest money and your business skills in New Zealand, you might like to consider the option of migrating under the Entrepreneur category
- You could learn some new skills in your own country and then later apply for Residence using those new skills or qualifications
- You could gain some new experience in your own country in skill areas which are in high demand/shortage in New Zealand, and that could probably qualify you for Residence at a later date
Like we said, there are many different routes which could take you to your dream destination. Some take longer to travel and you just need a little more patience.
Do not expect everything to be smooth and easy. There are bound to be invisible hurdles at every single step. You would need a seasoned guide with the local experience and a thorough expertise in these matters.
