Study to Residency Pathway to New Zealand

New Zealand provides a well-defined Study to Residency Pathway that allows international students to move from education to permanent residency. The journey starts by enrolling in a recognized program, ideally in a field included on the Green List or one facing skill shortages. After completing their studies, graduates can apply for a Post-Study Work Visa to gain relevant work experience. Obtaining skilled employment that matches their qualifications significantly boosts their chances of qualifying for residency through routes like the Skilled Migrant Category or Green List pathways. This pathway facilitates long-term career growth and settlement in New Zealand’s stable economy and high quality of life.
