📢 Big proposed change to NZ Permanent Residency

ACT has announced a policy proposal that would shake up New Zealand's residence system ahead of the election.

Under the plan:
🔹 The Permanent Resident Visa category would be scrapped altogether
🔹 The Resident Visa would instead come with a 5-year travel facility (up from the current 2-year initial condition)
🔹 To keep that travel facility, visa holders would need to spend at least 730 days (2 years) in New Zealand during any rolling 5-year period
🔹 The 730 days wouldn't need to be continuous — but the current unconditional, indefinite right to leave and re-enter NZ would be removed

Some exemptions are proposed for people working overseas for NZ employers, accompanying family members, military personnel, those with a citizen spouse, or compelling humanitarian reasons.

ACT's Immigration spokesperson Dr Parmjeet Parmar says the change would bring NZ into line with countries like Australia, Canada and Singapore, where permanent residence requires an ongoing physical connection to the country.

⚠️ Please note: this is currently a policy proposal, not law. We'll keep you updated as this develops.

🌏 Got skills New Zealand needs? You could be on the path to residence! 🇳🇿

The Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) Resident Visa is for people with a skilled job or job offer in New Zealand. It lets you live, work and study in NZ indefinitely, include your partner and dependent children (24 or younger) in your application, and work toward Permanent Residence down the track.

There are 3 pathways to qualify — you only need to meet one:

🔹 Points-based pathway — For those who can claim skilled resident points from a qualification, occupational registration, or income (you'll need 6 points to qualify).

🔹 Skilled Work Experience pathway — For those with several years of relevant work experience in a skilled role, even without a formal qualification.

🔹 Trades and Technician pathway — For those in an eligible trade or technician role with a relevant qualification plus post-qualification work experience.

Not sure which pathway fits you? Our team can help you find out. 💬

New Zealand is officially the 2nd most peaceful country in the world! 🇳🇿

With our low crime rate, strong communities, and geographical location, it's no wonder New Zealand is one of the most peaceful places to live.
