After completing my masters in New Zealand, can I shift to Australia easily for work or PR?

It is possible to move from New Zealand to Australia for work or permanent residency (PR) after your master's, but it is not automatic or guaranteed.

Australia has its own visa and PR pathways. Your New Zealand degree is valuable, but you must meet Australia's skilled migration requirements, which typically include:

- Skills assessment for your nominated occupation
- Relevant work experience
- English language proficiency
- Points-based system: Age, education, and experience all matter

You may also need employer sponsorship or state nomination, depending on the visa route.

Australian visa rules and PR policies are subject to change.
