Green List — Branch

Straight to Residence orientation

How Tier 1 style Green List rows are commonly discussed—with employer, duty, and registration evidence still decisive.

  • SMC, Green List, and AEWV context
  • Evidence-led occupation framing
  • Structured next steps before filing

Straight-to-residence is how many Tier 1 Green List occupations are discussed in public materials. It is not automatic approval: employer context, duties, and instruction details still govern outcomes.

Audience: Applicants whose roles are commonly classed as Tier 1 on the Green List and who are reading fast-track style residence framing.

Orientation only—confirm every material fact against Immigration New Zealand instructions and your evidence bundle.

Why branch pages exist

Separating STR and WTR discussion reduces confusion when households compare multiple printouts or blog summaries against official tables.

Evidence still wins

A list row is the beginning of a checklist. Pay, accreditation, registration, and dependants still need a coherent bundle.

Readiness

  • Run the Green List Checker against your exact occupation title.
  • Read the parent Green List hub for tier context.
  • Prepare registration evidence early if your row implies a professional gate.

FAQ

Common questions

  • Not necessarily. Official list wording matters. Use the checker and INZ source material; avoid title guessing.

  • 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
