There are three fundamental ways to apply for a New Zealand visa from India:

1. SMC

The Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) allows you to live and work permanently in New Zealand. You must, however, go through a point-based system to determine whether you are eligible to apply for this visa. The points are simply assigned to your main profile facts, such as age, education, work experience, and so on.

SMC Eligibility Requirement

You may be eligible to apply for PR in New Zealand under the SMC category if you meet the following requirements:

  1. Are 55 years old or younger
  2. Fluency in English
  3. Have a decent personality
  4. Should be fit and healthy

You can apply for the SMC category through the following steps:

  1. Submit an online EOI (Expression of Interest), detailing your qualifications, abilities, work experience, and family.
  2. If you have a high enough score under New Zealand's point-based immigration system, your EOI (Expression of Interest) will be accepted, and you will be sent an ITA (Invitation to Apply) for a visa.
  3. You must fill out the form and submit it to the authorities along with the necessary supporting documents.

Investor Classification

The Investor category is primarily intended for individuals who wish to live and apply for residency in New Zealand by investing in a New Zealand business. To apply for this stream, you must select the Investor/Investor Plus categories.

Category: Entrepreneur

This Entrepreneur Work Visa is intended for persons who want to start their own business in New Zealand. You can apply for the Entrepreneur Residence Visa after running your own business in New Zealand for two years (6 months in rare situations) under this visa.

To obtain PR in New Zealand, you must first meet the New Zealand PR criteria. It is also important to remember that you cannot apply for New Zealand PR without first working in the country for a specified number of years.

To be eligible for a New Zealand permanent resident visa, you must have lived in New Zealand for two years on a residency visa and have met any of the five conditions, which include:

  1. You must have spent sufficient time in New Zealand.
  2. You have New Zealand tax resident status
