I am holding PR for two years and present and I had a vacation for a year for looking after my father, then came back again on February 2023. Will it be 3 years of stay here or back again to 5 years before applying for NZ citizenship? thanks
So similar din po sia sa canada like 5 years residency theb you can process your citizenship?
Hi Juls, that was a an incredibly informative sharing! I did not graduate from a NZ university but I would like to apply professional job there, is that possible? If yes, what requirements should i meet?
Hi, thanks for your comment! Yes you can definitely apply for jobs in New Zealand even if you didnt graduate here. The requirements will be different depending on the employer and the profession and they will usually list them as part of the job ad 😊 some will say you need a certain qualification but it doesn't necessarily need to be from New Zealand, it could be "equivalent".
You can use an agent that’s gonna be much easier I used one too
Please ma how can I apply for resident visa for New Zealand and their requirements?
Very nice content po. 😊 Ask ko lang po kung may kailangan pa po ba na i-submit na papel para sa language requirement pag nag apply ng citizenship? Salamat po. Godbless
Thank you po! 😊 For my application po I didn't submit anything for the language requirements, but it might depend on your situation po. I think they just checked their records po as I studied high school here and passed the English subjects etc.
How do I apply for student visa in New Zealand???
Hi there just need some information about citizenship i got my resident in march 2017 . And in march 2023 its 6 years now But from april 2021 to april 2022 i was out of nz for 1 year .but in the requirements i had to stay in nz from last 5 years continuously.so just wondering do i need to wait another 5 years for citizenship thanks
Hi! Here's a link with information that might be useful: www.govt.nz/browse/passports-citizenship-and-identity/nz-citizenship/requirements-for-nz-citizenship/presence-requirements/
Based on the immigration website, they will count the last 5 years from the day you apply for your citizenship. As you've been out of NZ for more than 4 months in the last 5 years, you might not meet the presence requirements and likely need to wait. I recommend getting in touch with NZ immigration directly to confirm 👍
Hi Mam Juls, I am Jr and Filipino din. Ask lang if may residence visa lang not PR, eligible parin ba maka apply ng citizenship after 5yrs even na d ako nag apply ng Permanent residence.
Thank you po.
Is there a way for a South African student to apply to study in new Zealand
Hello! I am I am Alameen I found your video very educational, I want to move in to newzealand ,I’m a Nigerian, studying in China . I want to get more information about work or scholarship, I’ll be graduating in 5 months July 2024
hi just want to ask, regarding the language requirements? do you need to take ielts again for citizenship?
Hi Diane, thanks for your comment. I didn't have to take a test or anything. It's possible they looked at my records that I went to high school here and passed the english subjects etc.
I live and I was born in New Zealand
Criteria (no s)
Singular is criterion
Are the borders and airports open for travel
I mean can you travel out of New Zealand 🇳🇿 to Africa?
Yes the borders are open
You could always travel out. Getting in was always the issue….
Similar rin pala sa US requirements.
where is the inmigration office or where can i trammit my passport?
Do you mean a person with NZ passport can live freely either in Australia or NZ only, but not anywhere else?
Yes an NZ passport holder can live in NZ and Australia without needing to apply for a visa (eg visitor visa etc), but NZ passport holders can visit a lot of countries without a visa but only for a period of time, eg 1 month etc
Thank you so much. I dream of moving to New Zealand and this informed me very well!
Edit: I’m Filipino too!
How many yrs can a work permit visa holder become new Zealand citizen and passport holder
You have to gain New Zealand residency first before you can become a New Zealand citizen. So that means from holding a work visa, you have to apply for residency visa and meet the requirements etc. Once you're a resident, it would then take 5 years before you can become a citizen (2 years residency, 3 years permanent resident)
Hey Juls, That was a great informative video! I have a question for you.
My question is, "If I arrive in NZ with tourist visa,
Am I able to work here and get the citizenship of NZ?? "
Thanks for sharing this information Please I'm From nigeria how can i get New Zealand Citizenship From nigeria here I really ❤❤❤ New Zealand so much. I'm ready to relocate to New Zealand & ready to learn New Zealand language & Culture ✌✌✌💙💙💙💙💙✌✌✌✌✌
Wow New Zealand 🇳🇿. I want to move there someday. I’m from the United States 🇺🇸
I’m Filipino American 🇺🇸. At Las Vegas Nevada. But Want to move at New Zealand 🇳🇿.
What money does it take to become a citizen of New Zealand, please know, I really want to go to New Zealand 🙏
Investor category requires considerable funds to become NZ Citizen. Millions of dollars invested in businesses. Also to get permanent residence. Most people moved to NZ on work visa for 3 years, then depending on education, skills, English language, and finance apply for Permanent Residence. Helps if your are IT, Doctor, Nurse, engineer tech or highly skilled tradesperson Mechanic, Builder etc...
I am from Bangladesh, aged 60 years old. I am interested ti stay at New Zealand. May I apply for Visa.
You can does not mean u will be accepted though
It depends what visa you want. You're too old for a work visa.
Are you rich.!

It’s difficult to immigrate to the United States unless you’re a peasant migrant from a Latin American country; or a Caribbean country.

Why did it take you 9 years?
I was on a student visa to begin with then on work visa for a while while I applied for my residency. The application also took almost a year to get approved, and from there it took 5 years to get my citizenship 😊
After i get my canadian and give up my us im getting new zealands lol
Yes New Zealand is awesome!
@@ortegajulzzz what are the best fast food chains
@@dylanjohnson3346 Burger Fuel is my absolute favourite! There's also the classic McDonalds, domino's pizza, and for the "cheap but yummy", the occassional "fish n chips" from takeaway shops are good too 😁

I would like to immigrate to New Zealand. Can you tell me is there crime in New Zealand? And if so are there many criminals in New Zealand?
Yes. There is crime in every country, Yes NZ has gang problems & "A class" drug problems.
10 criminals in new zealand
To become a nz citizen make love to a sheep 🐑
@@larrytanner499 9, I think they found one of them
80 plus percent of crime in NZ is theft and its and crime is low you won't have a problem 99% of the time if you're not stupid like going into a dark alley at 3 am
They've made it too easy to become a NZ citizen.
