Can you explain what 'green list' courses mean in New Zealand?
In New Zealand, "Green List" courses are study programs linked to occupations with high demand, as identified by the government’s Green List of skilled jobs. Completing a Green List course can make it easier to get a work visa and later apply for residency.
- Tier 1 (Straight to Residence): Job offer in a Tier 1 role lets you apply for residency right away.
- Tier 2 (Work to Residence): For Tier 2 roles, you must work in New Zealand for at least two years before applying for residency.
Common Green List fields include engineering, healthcare, teaching, IT, construction, trades, and agriculture. Choosing one of these courses can streamline your pathway to living and working in New Zealand.
