Study to Residency Pathway to New Zealand

New Zealand offers a structured Study to Residency Pathway, enabling international students to transition from education to permanent residency. The process begins with enrolling in an approved program, preferably in a sector listed on the Green List or identified as having skill shortages. Upon graduation, students may apply for a Post-Study Work Visa to gain relevant employment experience. Securing skilled work aligned with their qualifications enhances eligibility for residency under categories such as the Skilled Migrant Category or Green List pathways. This pathway supports long-term career development and settlement in New Zealand’s stable economy and high standard of living.
