Have you ever dreamed of teaching in New Zealand? Exciting news for secondary school teachers worldwide!
Facing a teacher shortage, the New Zealand government has introduced a groundbreaking initiative. This initiative allows overseas secondary school teachers to apply for residency right from their home countries, without needing prior work experience in New Zealand.
A Welcome Relief
Due to an acute shortage, this initiative has become a beacon of hope for educators globally, especially those specializing in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, and Mathematics).
Streamlined Pathway to Residency
Under the new “Straight to Residence” pathway, eligible overseas teachers can fast-track their journey to residency, skipping the traditional requirement of work experience within New Zealand first.
How to Apply
To apply for New Zealand residency, overseas teachers need an offer of employment from an accredited employer in New Zealand. Unlike before, there’s no need to spend two years working in the country beforehand.
This streamlined process ensures certainty and prioritizes the needs of the education sector.
Perks of the Straight-to-Residence Visa
The Straight to Residence Visa program enables teachers to live, work, and study in New Zealand and also include their partners and dependent children aged 24 or younger in their visa applications.
It’s an opportunity for families to embark on a new adventure and immerse themselves in New Zealand’s rich culture and natural beauty.
Seize the Opportunity
If you’re a secondary school teacher with dreams of teaching in New Zealand, now is the time to act! Whether you’re already in New Zealand on a work visa or planning to apply from overseas, the pathway to residency has never been clearer.
