Project advantage

Project Advantages
◈ High success rate: The Green List is the channel for the New Zealand government to actively absorb short-suffered talents. As long as the occupation, education, and employer matching are met, the approval rate will remain above 95%.
◈ Fast approval: The green list Tier 1 trial cycle has been compressed to 1-2 months, 50% of cases are about 8 weeks, and 80% of cases are completed in about 11 weeks.
◈ No need to score, first come first review: no EOI scoring, no quota limit, no lottery, as long as the conditions are met, it can be submitted, and the trial is reviewed in sequence.
◈ Tier 1 can accept direct overseas applications: Tier 1 applicants do not need to log in with a work permit first, and people can directly submit a resident visa in China.
◈ Simultaneous status of the whole family: After the main application is approved for the resident visa, the spouse and children under the age of 24 can accompany them. The spouse is given an open work permit (full-time work), and the children enroll in public schools for free.
◈ Permanent return signing: New Zealand is the only country in the world that provides a permanent return visa. After obtaining permanent residence, there is no living requirement, and it is free to come and go without affecting the domestic business.
