THE NEW ZEALAND GREEN LIST – HEALTH OCCUPATIONS
New Zealand is committed to welcoming skilled professionals looking for work-life balance in our beautiful, progressive country.
The Immigration New Zealand Green List seeks to fast-track residency pathways for certain occupations, and consists of two tiers as follows:
- Tier 1 occupations – granted immediate New Zealand residency via the ‘Straight to Residence’ pathway*
All health occupations for the Green List are currently in Tier 1 - Tier 2 occupations – granted New Zealand residency after working for two years via the ‘Work to Residence’ pathway*
*Most Healthcare occupations are now included on tier one of the New Zealand Green List! If you have the qualifications and experience required, you could get New Zealand residency immediately or after just 2 years of working in New Zealand! View below to see if your occupation is included.
There’s never been a better time to move and we can help you navigate the process, whatever stage of the journey you may be at.
