Work-to-residence discussion for Green List Tier 2 style occupations emphasises sustained skilled employment and employer-backed sequencing. This page supports reading order and evidence—not month counting.

Audience: Applicants targeting Tier 2 list rows or similar work-led residence threads where tenure narratives matter beside offer quality.

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

Tenure and documentation

Month counts in policy must match evidence employers can support. Weak duty capture undermines even long employment.

Cross-read with the WTR hub

Use the broader work-to-residence support page when your story spans more than list wording alone.

Readiness

  • Use the Work to Residence Tracker for a preparation pass.
  • Align payslips, contracts, and references to the same duty story.
  • Escalate when dependants or prior refusals intersect.

FAQ

Common questions

  • Public materials often describe different sequencing. Your timeline depends on instruction, employer facts, and evidence—not on labels alone.

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
