Pacific Nations Visa Policy

The Pacific Access Category is run by ballot and permits up to 150 citizens of Kiribati, 150 citizens of Tuvalu, 500 citizens of Tonga, and 500 citizens of Fiji to be issued residence in New Zealand every year. Applications for this category are accepted throughout the year, and demand can sometimes exceed available positions. This visa category is part of New Zealand's commitment to strengthening and promoting economic growth in the Pacific area. Applicants must fulfill New Zealand's health and character criteria. With this visa, you have the potential for permanent residency after meeting certain conditions.

For Samoan Citizens

Every year, 1100 exceptional spots are made available to Samoan residents under the age of 45 who live in Samoa and have an offer of employment in New Zealand. The applicants must meet the language requirements and health and character requirements. This visa, which is managed directly from Samoa, offers a unique chance for Samoan citizens to build a permanent life in New Zealand. The Samoa Quota provides a clear path to permanent residency in New Zealand and access to the New Zealand job market, which benefits both employers and employees.

For Pitcairn Islanders

Residents of Pitcairn Island may be considered for residency based on standard policies, which include character and health, subject to holding a job offer.
