Yes but not if the other person is on an undergraduate or master student visa

dude420:

Doesn’t masters have dependent visa ?

As a professional with years of experience in a field that is not on the green list, does it mean I do not qualify for the PR path or I cant find a job that offers sponsorship in my field? I'm quite confused on how the whole sponsorship and eligibility criteria works for NZ

Thank you

Ticha:


There are pathways open to skilled professionals. The skilled migrant pathway is open for those who have jobs/sponsorships - it has a points requirement for selection and they have gradually upped the points. https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/preparing-a-visa-application/living-in-new-zealand-permanently/new-zealand-skilled-residence-pathways

It is historically very difficult to get a job in NZ from Nigeria (including almost all developing countries apart from India and SA) but with the severe skills shortage, who knows?

I usually see a lot of job opportunities in my career field but the issue is that they are ONSITE INTERVIEWS. Is it possible if I can travel on a visit Visa, attend interviews and if successful, travel back to Nigeria while the company that wants to employ me assist to getting work Visa and travel back with it?

Ticha:


No idea how feasible that is. Visa and transport are very very expensive - have you looked at the costs? And it takes an average of 10-16 weeks to get a visit visa from Nigeria. No employer is going to realistically wait for that long to interview you. INZ will also not issue you a visit visa to come attend interviews.

You won't know how feasible it is till you try so go for it!

damble:
Thanks for your response

ednut1:
they have working holiday visa for citizens of these countries. They can come in with this visa start work next day if they see one. Unfortunately Nigeria is not there. And like Ticha said they wont give you visit visa to come look for work or attend interviews.

damble:
Being a nigerian has so many disadvantages ooo. No nice country son of man can easily migrate to as a Nigerian. It is pathetic

ednut1:
seeing what some Nigerians did in china, malaysia, Singapore, thailand, UAE, italy, Cyprus, south Africa, Nairobi etc. can you blame them

Can I use such certificate with fixed deposit equivalent to my POF and attach my bank statement of 6 months with good cash flow ? Because if I should deposit all lump cash into my account it may look suspicious. And I have a good cash flow from my personal account which double my business account.

Ticha:


Off the top of my head, I'd say yes you cam as long as the fixed deposit is in your name and there is proof that the money is accessible to you once you need it - ie a letter from the bank detailing such and then adding your regular bank statements.

If in doubt, speak to rhe admissions team - all the universities have dedicated visa staff who can reach out to INZ and ask clarifying questions on your behalf.

Did you university ask you to provide proof of funds?? If yes, what did you provide to them as that would also work for INZ

GraduatesGrant:
Good day, i have a question please.

From the checklist provided by INZ on their website, there's a list of documents they stated as means of evidence of having enough money ( for tuition and living expenses) for the first year.

As seen from the attached file, a 3 months statement of account is required. But the second is a certificate of fixed deposit that has been held for at least 6 months.
Can I use such certificate with fixed deposit equivalent to my POF and attach my bank statement of 6 months with good cash flow ? Because if I should deposit all lump cash into my account it may look suspicious. And I have a good cash flow from my personal account which double my business account.

Reason I'm asking, if I should deposit the POF in my account to wait for three months before my visa application, expenses will reduce what I've saved up, and I have until September 30th to vacate my current accommodation and getting a new accommodation in Lagos is now a luxury.

Please successful applicant and expert should enlighten me. I'm confused honestly.

Ps: I'm a prospective PhD visa applicant.

Hello,

Please does anyone know if there is Naija community in Otago?

For those already in NZ studying PhD, how will you rate employment there generally and possibility of combining PhD with fulltime or part-time employment?

I am starting my PhD Finance 1 November self funded, hence the need for this information before departing Naija to enable me plan well.

Thank you.

I think i can help,getting Newzealand PR is by studies.but there tuition are expensive.the best way is to apply for vocational programe,with this u will get an aceptance letter and apply for visa.vocational tuition ranges from 2000 dollars and above,its affordable to pay.since it cheapest,and u will later apply to a university if u wish,mind you with PR,your tuition will be cheaper.my Uncle is there and currently schooling in Aoraki polytechnic,he operates an restorant.hes married to a korean.well,thats wat he did.mind you,NEWZEALAND visa is easy,but full of stress.ask any questions,am here to reply.
