Hi all,
I am on 30-month (2.5 years) WTR (Work to Residence) Visa under Talent (Accredited Employer) category. This basically means that I am working for an accredited employer, and after 24 months of employment I can directly apply for PR (not Residency Visa), provided some conditions are satisfied. Please see this link (under 'Permanent Resident Visas')- http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra.../residence.htm
It says that those fulfilling Work to Residence requirements AND having gross annual income of at least NZD 90k are eligible to apply directly for PR.
So my question is, has anybody applied for PR this way? If yes, how much time did it take for you to obtain the PR stamp. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Otaku
