Before an applicant can apply for residence, they must meet the requirements as set out in the Green List. For example, if registration is required, this must be obtained before submitting a residence application. More information will be available on the Immigration New Zealand website.
Care and support workers are not covered by these changes as they already have a two year work to residence pathway which is tied to the pay legislation under the Care Workforce Sector Agreement.
