New Zealand welcomes everyone with relevant qualifications, skills and experience that can contribute to the development of the New Zealand economy. If your occupation appears on the Essential Skills in Demand List for New Zealand occupations, you must not delay to immigrate to New Zealand.

Skilled Migrant Category is the most suitable immigration category that gives you the freedom to live and work in New Zealand permanently. Marconis Institute can help this dream come true for you in the easiest way possible. Given below is the detailed procedure that we follow to help our clients get approval under the skilled migrant category:

Meeting the basic requirements – We assist you in submitting the Expression of interest to enhance your chances of acceptability for minimum NZ immigration requirements. Points at this level are awarded on the basis of your qualification, if you have an offer letter for a job in NZ or not and other such factors. Besides, some other basic requirements for occupational registration, health, English language ability and character must also be fulfilled. Our immigration specialists ensure that the information provided work to your utmost advantage and get your EOI accepted for further processing. An acceptance of EOI is followed by a request to apply for residency in NZ.

Selecting EOI – EOIs that successfully claim over 100 points are submitted into the pool. EOI that claimed 140 or above points are selected automatically from this pool, whereas those that have points between 100 and 140 are selectively picked up according to the demands of NZ. Sometimes EOI may remain in the pool for six months. In that case, your EOI is withdrawn from pool and you are notified about the same and we can then assist you in applying with an EOI again. But if Immigration New Zealand did not select any EOIs from the pool at all, your EOI may stay in the pool itself even after six months until the next lot of EOIs is selected.

Official request to apply for residence – In case, you have been lucky enough to get your EOI drawn by INZ (Immigration New Zealand) and your claims are successfully verified, you are then sent an official request to apply for residence. The invitation mentions a period of four months, before which you must apply under the New Zealand’s Skilled Migrant category. We help you arrange all necessary documents, such as passport, certifications and qualifications that are to be provided, along with duly filled application forms and the applicable fees. Our immigration experts guide you in filling the form correctly and assure hassle-free approval of your application.

Complete assessment – Once your application for residence is received, your claims as well as your suitability to stay in NZ are assessed. Sometimes, INZ may also wish to interview you and your dependants. At this time, they may ask about your current support networks, employment prospects and familiarity with the country. Contact our experts today to know more about the probable interview questions in your case. For speedy processing of your application, it is better to have an employment offer in NZ, beforehand. If INZ is satisfied with your interview, approval to your application is granted. But in case, the officials are not completely satisfied, they may give you a resident permit or visa to come to NZ and see if you could get a skilled job. Your residence application is approved as soon as you get the job. The time period allowed to get a job in NZ is nine months.
