New Zealand immigration monitors the number of people who arrives in New Zealand each year, from permanent and temporary residents to visitors and holiday makers. It monitors holiday travelers going to New Zealand for up to 23 months to travel and work; potential migrants who wish to live in New Zealand permanently must first obtain a residence visa to enter the country and temporary workers who wish to travel and work. The new immigration act which passed into law in 2009 replacing the 1987 act is aimed to enhance border security and improve the efficiency of the immigration services. Key aspects of the new act include the ability to use biometrics, a new refugee and protection system, a single independent appeals tribunal and a universal visa system.

The immigration scheme has been designed to comprise two stages; the lodging of an expression of interest and the invitation to apply for residency. You need to score a minimum of 100 points to be able to lodge an expression of interest. Skilled migrant category has been designed to attract highly skilled migrants to New Zealand, particularly in those industries and regions of New Zealand experiencing growth and skill shortages.
