Question regarding Bonus points in Identified Future Grwoth Area

[tryingadvit]

Sorry guys, another questn on my mind ...

Are the bonus points for Identified future growth area in both Work exp and Qualifications available to only those who have current skilled employment or an offer of skilled employment in New Zealand ...? or anyone having them outside New Zealand can also claim the bonus points

Apologise if my questions bother you ... its just that am trying to figure out a situation where I can get atleast 140 points in EOI....

Thanks for time!

Only for those having employment or offer of employment in NZ. Not for others.

Ok! thanks mate ..
and can the bonus in Work Exp & Qualifications in areas of absolute skill shortage only be claimed if the occupation is on LTSSL and meets its specs strictly - right?

Hi tryingadvit
There are bonus points for qualification and work exp. If these happen to be in absolute skill area you will get the bonus points. You need not be in NZ to get it. I mean you might be having your studies/Work exp outside NZ.

Valuable members correct me if I'm wrong
