Skilled Migrant, Accredited Employer Work Visa, partnership
Full self-assessment under the post-2023 Skilled Migrant Category 6-point single-axis system — skilled employment, qualification, NZ income, occupational registration, specialised training. Output: pass / fail per stream and the cleanest path to 6 points.
Strategic plan to maximise SMC 6-point score across skilled NZ employment (3/4/6), qualification (1-5 by NZQF level), NZ income (1-4 by median multiple), and occupational registration / specialised training. Picks the cleanest combination by evidence in hand.
Accredited Employer Work Visa pathway: employer accreditation levels (Standard / High-Volume / Franchise / Triangular), Job Check labour-market test, median-wage threshold NZD 31.61/hr (2025) and estimated 2026 review, market-test exemption mapping.
Map client occupation onto Green List Tier 1 (Straight to Residence) vs Tier 2 (Work to Residence after 24 months) and identify the optimum residence pathway including bypass of the SMC 6-point system entirely.
When a client is short of 6 SMC points, build the shortest credible re-scoring plan: IELTS retest, NZ study completion, NZ work experience accumulation, partner contribution paths, occupational registration timing.
