Hello everyone!
I have received a job offer for February 2021 as a teacher. I want to live in New Zealand and for X reasons, I cannot start the process with immigration until December-January. My question is: How do I do this?
Do I apply for Essentials Skill Visa (2 months waiting) + Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa (6-17 months waiting)? (2 applications at the same time)
If I apply only for the Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa, will they give me a temporary work visa while they process the residency?
I am afraid of applying for the Skilled Migrant and that it will take too long to give me a work visa to start classes in February.
This waiting time concerns me a little bit ...
