OVERVIEW OF THE SMC VISA CRITERIA

If you are interested in moving to New Zealand, you are likely interested in the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) Visa. The SMC Visa is based on points, which are determined by specific factors such as education, age, work experience, employment skills, and family.

NewZealandVisaExpert, working in collaboration with an IAA-licensed Immigration Advisor, helps people who want to apply for a New Zealand Resident Visa under the SMC Visa Program.

To apply for the SMC, you must file an Expression of Interest (EOI) application, as well as pay the EOI application fee. This form will verify if you are likely to be eligible to immigrate to New Zealand based on various items such as your knowledge of the English language, your health, and your character.

As you begin to fill out your form, you may need help in understanding what is required. NewZealandVisaExpert is available to help you complete your forms correctly so you will not have to deal with delays in your immigration process.

If it is found that you are likely to be eligible, you will be in a strong position to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for the next step – a Resident Visa to New Zealand. If you receive the ITA, you should then fill out the application for the New Zealand Resident Visa.

Once that is thoroughly completed, the application should be submitted to the New Zealand government within 4 months, along with the required documents and fees. Before you submit your Resident Visa application, the Immigration Advisor who works with NewZealandVisaExpert can verify that it is completed correctly.

If your Resident Visa is approved, you and your eligible family members will be authorized to become immigrants of New Zealand. Once in New Zealand, you and your family can work, live, and study in New Zealand and enjoy the high quality lifestyle found in this beautiful country.

After you have your Resident Visa and have lived in New Zealand for a minimum of 5 years (plus met other criteria), you could be eligible to apply for New Zealand citizenship.
