How much does permanent residency cost?
I am going to New Zealand in a couple of week's on a WHV and my aim is to get a job in construction in ChristChurch, if successful then i aim to get sponsored by an employer for a few year's and maybe after that go for permanent residency as i feel this is the easiest route and cheapest for PR. Anyway i have a mate out there now, his employer has said he will sponsor him after his year is up however he has stated that he probably won't go for permanent residency after-ward's as it cost's several grand? Is this true?

check the fees page on the Immigration site
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra.../formsandfees/ looks to me like $930 for resident via work and then the levy fee of $310 but that could be wrong dependant on the visa you are on atm |

Re: How much does permanent residency cost?
One more thing, i was a roof tiler for over two year's here in Ireland before thing's went belly up in the construction industry however now have several roofing companies who want to interview me when i arrive. Do you need certain qualification's here? I know plenty of tradesmen from here working in New Zealand now and all that was required was reference's to prove their experience? The reason i'm asking this is for the EOI point's system when it ask's for qualification's

Points claimed for qualifications need to be on the exempt list, otherwise your qualifications need to be assessed by NZEI in order to claim points for the EOI

Check my blog- click on application timescale. It details exactly why we needed, costs, and how long it all took. :)

Re: How much does permanent residency cost?
It is quite costly. Those prices are very current too . I have two visas listed there because I had to get a temp visa in order to take the job - the permanent residency visa takes a lot longer to process and wouldn't have been done in time.
As for qualifications - it depends on how the points system scores you and where you get your points from. You need 140 for automatic selection. I have a friend who trained as a teacher in NZ after a gap year holiday here. She is still on a 2 year temp visa which she renews, while she saves up. |
