Skilled Migration — Intake
Eligibility review & intake
How RTNZ moves you from tools and reading into Check Eligibility and strategy sessions—structured, honest, and outcome-neutral.
- SMC, Green List, and AEWV context
- Evidence-led occupation framing
- Structured next steps before filing
When you are ready to move from reading to structured intake, this page explains how RTNZ sequences the public journey—without adding new CTAs or promising outcomes.
Audience: Serious applicants who want a disciplined handoff from tools and support pages into Check Eligibility or a strategy conversation.
Why structured intake exists
Free-text emails often omit dates, dependants, and employer facts that change advice. Check Eligibility captures a coherent snapshot first.
What happens after Check Eligibility
Your submission enters RTNZ’s existing enquiry flow. Licensed or partner pathways apply where the law requires—tools never replace that routing.
When to book a strategy session
Use Book Strategy Session when trade-offs need a live conversation—multiple visa classes, employer timing, or household sequencing.

Readiness
- Run the evidence checklist mentally against what you can actually produce this month.

FAQ
Common questions
No. The phrase describes how RTNZ organises public intake—not a pre-approval.
Ready for structured intake?
Check Eligibility captures the profile RTNZ needs before deeper work. Book Strategy Session when you need a live conversation across employer timing, dependants, or competing visa classes—still only the two public CTAs.

Trust and tool boundaries
No extra public CTAs
This page explains sequencing—it does not invent new buttons. Tools and support pages should have already given you onward links; intake stays on Check Eligibility and Book Strategy Session.
Premium brief
The 60/40 gated strategy
How we split your next quarter between role-substance evidence and employer–residence positioning—available in full after eligibility review.
How we weight occupation alignment against visa sequencing
Skilled pathways turn on technical clarity. The 60/40 framework balances ANZSCO-grade duty capture with accredited-employer and residence timing—so job titles, pay evidence, and registration gates stay coherent under INZ review.
- Green List tier logic vs staged work-to-residence where both appear viable
- Registration and provisional practice relative to lawful work start
- RFI-prone evidence gaps for cross-border careers from Pakistan, UAE, and KSA
