New Zealand Emigration

The New Zealand Immigration Regulations set out strict criteria that you have to meet to qualify for immigration. Family sponsorship can assist you in making an application; but in many cases it is not the only relevant issue. New Zealand has many different types of visa classes. The General Skills Category operates on a points test system. Family sponsorship is just one of the factors points are awarded for. There are also Family Migration visa classes where the relationship and sponsorship will be the deciding factor. For example if you have an New Zealand spouse, child or parent who is able to sponsor you there is potential for you to successfully apply for immigration. It is important though that you confirm your position before making an application.
