For help completing this form, refer to the Skilled Migrant Category Expression of Interest Guide (INZ 1101).

Invitation to Apply for residence in New Zealand under the Skilled Migrant Category only if you meet the following

and it will not be submitted into the Expression of Interest Pool until all the necessary information is provided.

 Assessment of your residence application
When assessing whether you can be granted residence under the Skilled Migrant Category, we will not only be
looking at your points total. We also assess your ability to successfully settle in and contribute to New Zealand.
Principal applicants are considered to have demonstrated the ability to successfully settle in and contribute to
New Zealand if they:
• qualify for 50 points for an offer of skilled employment or current skilled employment in New Zealand for less
than 12 months; or
• qualify for 60 points for current skilled employment in New Zealand for twelve months or more; or
• have undertaken full time study for at least two years in New Zealand that has resulted in the award of a
Doctorate or Masters degree
Principal applicants who do not have points for any of these factors will be further assessed to determine
whether they can otherwise demonstrate an ability to successfully settle and contribute or can realise their
potential to successfully settle in and contribute to New Zealand. Please refer to instructions SM21.5 and SM21.10
for further information.
