Skilled Migrant Category: How do I apply?

There are two stages of applying for residence under our Skilled Migrant Category:

Stage One - you complete an Expression of Interest (EOI). In this EOI, you can claim points for age, skilled employment, work experience, qualifications, etc. Your points total will help you determine whether to submit your EOI to us for a selection process.
Stage Two - if your EOI is selected from the EOI Pool, we decide whether we’ll invite you to apply for residence in New Zealand based on the points you have claimed.

You should assess your eligibility for the Skilled Migrant category before you decide to complete your Expression of Interest. The general timeframe for EOI processing is 8-12 weeks. This may vary from branch to branch.
