In April, the Government announced that secondary school teachers will move to the Straight to Residence pathway on the Green List of in-demand roles.
Eligible overseas secondary school teachers can now apply for residence from outside New Zealand:
- when they have an offer of employment with an accredited employer, and
- without needing to work for 2 years in New Zealand first.
Other teachers remain on the Work to Residence pathway.
