Our experts will guide you through the entire immigration process, helping you secure a visa in the shortest possible time. The New Zealand government offers several immigration options, including:

Skilled Migration Visa

The Skilled Migration Category is designed to attract highly skilled and qualified migrants to New Zealand, particularly in industrial sectors and regions experiencing growth but facing a shortage of professionals. The country’s selection system is flexible, focusing only on essential stages before an applicant can apply for skilled migration.

Student Visa

The Government of New Zealand encourages international students to study at its universities and colleges. Alongside their studies, students can work up to 20 hours a week. Those who have completed the requisite qualifications and meet the permanent resident criteria can apply for a work permit and/or permanent residency upon finishing their studies.

Work Visa

The primary objective of the New Zealand Work Visa is to contribute to the development of the country’s industry and economy by attracting skilled individuals from around the world. There are two options under this category:

Work to Resident

This category allows individuals wishing to permanently settle in New Zealand to upgrade their temporary work visa to a permanent resident visa.

Employment: This category allows New Zealand employers to hire foreign skilled workers for positions that cannot be filled by local workers.

Family Visa

The Family Visa category enables the immigrant’s partner/spouse and dependent children up to the age of 24 to obtain permanent resident status in New Zealand. Less dependent family members will require sponsors who have held permanent residency in New Zealand for a minimum of three years. Applicants may also need an offer of employment.

RT Law Immigration is committed to making your dream of moving to New Zealand a reality by providing expert guidance and support throughout the immigration process.

Nurses

To work as registered nurses in New Zealand, overseas nurses must undergo a registration process with the Nursing Council of New Zealand, comprising three key steps:

CGFNS Document Verification:

  • Requires a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing or Post Basic Nursing Degree.

  • Candidates need at least 1800 hours of post-registration nursing experience.

  • Must meet English language standards, such as IELTS 6.5 in Writing and 7 in Reading, Listening, and Speaking, or OET C+ in Writing and B in Reading, Listening, and Speaking. Clubbing (combining scores) within one year is allowed.

Obtaining a Decision Letter from the Nursing Council of New Zealand:

  • Follows successful document verification by CGFNS

  • Once verified, the Nursing Council invites applicants to proceed with their application and reviews all submitted documentation.

Completing the NCNZ "Test of Competence":

  • Theoretical exam (online): Candidates answer 120 questions within 180 minutes, divided into two parts:
    ♦ Part A: Medication Safety
    ♦ Part B: Nursing Knowledge

  • Three attempts allowed to pass Parts A and B; both parts must be completed on the first attempt

  • If one part is failed, only that part needs to be re-sat.

  • The exam is conducted at Pearson VUE test centres available worldwide.

  • Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE):
    ♦ Begins with a two-day orientation and preparation program followed by a 3-hour OSCE.
    ♦ Held in person at a Nursing Council-approved simulation & assessment center in Christchurch, New Zealand.
    ♦ Assesses nursing knowledge, communication, and clinical practice at the New Zealand RN level.
    ♦ Involves completing 10 OSCE scenarios (stations) within 120 minutes; each station has specific time allocations for reading instructions, completing the scenario, and moving between stations (2+8+2 minutes per station).

  • Up to two re-sit opportunities are available if the OSCE is not passed on the first attempt.

The orientation, preparation program, and OSCE are conducted by the Nurse Maude Simulation & Assessment Centre in Christchurch.
