Permanent residency may be granted given that the applicant will apply the Skilled Migrant Category or sometimes called Skilled Migration Visa. It is a point – based visa that gives nurses additional points since there is a serious shortage of hospital staffs in the said country. This way the new Zealand Government can monitor and make a list of all Registered Nurses on their so called “ Long Terms skills shortage list.”

Applicant can also get a temporary visa since most employers offers it which has a validity of 5 years. This is usually processed as a priority application and can be obtained very fast. New Zealand offers an excellent opportunities for nurses to live and work in their country at a very low cost.
