Sorry to burst your bubble again people.
http://www.workingin-newzealand.com/visa/immigration-categories/silver-fern.aspx
From the link:
The Silver Fern Visa is not yet an official visa category. But if it is implemented, the visa will be applicable to highly skilled migrants with New Zealand-recognised qualifications, whether those qualifications were obtained in New Zealand or from a country with which New Zealand has a visa-free agreement*. (I don't need to tell you that the Philippines is not on that visa-free list.)
Age limit is pretty restrictive as well:
http://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/silver+fern+visa+target+talented+graduates
"There will be an initial limit of 300 places and the policy specifically targets people aged between 20 and 35 years old."
Also, from the mechanics of this new policy, what's is its difference with the current skilled migrant policy? |
