New Zealand Green List Skilled Migration

Green List project is a type of fast-track immigration channel under the New Zealand skilled migration category, which is based on employer sponsorship. The New Zealand government encourages New Zealand businesses or institutions to hire highly skilled professionals from overseas who meet the requirements of the scarce industries in New Zealand. Applicants who are sponsored for employment, along with their spouses and children, can obtain immigration status for the entire family in one go.

As of June 2023, the “Green List” includes a total of 181 occupations, of which 150 can directly apply for immigration, also known as the first-level Green List. The 31 occupations in the second-level Green List require applicants to work in New Zealand for two years before applying for immigration.

Core Element: JOB OFFER

The matched employer must be a company recognized by the immigration office, complying with local employment conditions.

The immigration office rigorously reviews the employer, and the employer must fully cooperate with all the applicant’s work requirements and promptly respond to various questions from the immigration office.

Meet the income threshold for New Zealand Green List immigration.
