INZ Update: Green List Registration Requirements Clarified

INZ clarifies acceptance of provisional registration for Green List occupations. Learn about the conditions under which provisional registration or membership can meet Green List requirements.

Kia ora everyone,

Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has recently released important clarifications regarding registration requirements for Green List occupations. At Surani Associates, we're committed to keeping you informed about these updates and how they might affect your immigration journey.

Key Clarifications:

  1. Acceptance of Provisional Registration:

    • Provisional registration or membership can be accepted for Green List occupations where registration is required but not specifically defined.

  2. Conditions for Acceptance: a) The registration or membership requirement is not specific (e.g., general, vocational, or journeyman). b) The provisional registration or membership allows the applicant to work legally in New Zealand. c) No further training is needed to gain full registration or membership (working under supervision for New Zealand experience doesn't count as training).

  3. Exceptions:

    • Some types of registration (e.g., trainee or student registrations) may not qualify a person to work in the relevant occupation.

  4. Difference from Skilled Migrant Category:

    • This approach differs from the Skilled Migrant Category, where provisional registrations generally don't qualify for points unless specified.

What This Means for You:

If you're applying for a visa under the Green List category:

  1. Check if your occupation requires registration or membership.

  2. If you hold provisional registration or membership, it may be accepted if it meets the conditions outlined above.

  3. Ensure your registration allows you to work legally in New Zealand without further training requirements.

At Surani Associates, we understand that navigating registration requirements can be complex. Our team of expert immigration advisors is here to help you understand how these clarifications apply to your specific situation.

We can assist you by:

  • Reviewing your registration or membership status

  • Determining if your provisional registration meets Green List requirements

  • Advising on any additional steps needed to meet visa criteria

  • Helping prepare a strong application that clearly demonstrates your eligibility

Remember, while this clarification offers more flexibility for some applicants, it's crucial to ensure you meet all other Green List requirements. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for personalised advice and support.

Let's work together to ensure your Green List application accurately reflects your qualifications and registration status. Stay informed, stay prepared, and let Surani Associates be your trusted partner in achieving your New Zealand immigration goals.
