Know about the 2021 Residence Visa
To be able to live in New Zealand permanently, you need to have a NZ Resident Visa. Most of the pathways that lead to New Zealand residency start with a Temporary Visa, which allows you to work, study or own a business in New Zealand.
There are a few types of visas which allow residence in New Zealand right away, such as the Skilled Migrant Category visa. However, you need to comply with the conditions attached to your visa, to ensure your pathway to the residence is not interrupted.
Migrating to a new country is a huge decision, and therefore before moving to New Zealand permanently, you will need to consider which visas you are eligible for and whether those visas lead to permanent residence NZ.
