Points

Skilled Migrant:
You qualify for points for your Expression of Interest based on how well you score on assessment against selected factors. The points system is designed to identify those people with the most to offer New Zealand so that invitations to apply for residence can be extended to them. The greater the number of points you score, the greater your chance of gaining an invitation to apply for residence. You need to score at least 100 points to have a chance of entering the Expressions of Interest Pool.

 

Investor:
To be eligible for residence under our Investor Category you must meet the pass mark of the Investor Category points system.  You can earn points for your age, your business experience and for the amount of funds you have to invest.
