Self-check tools
Total your own attributes against Immigration New Zealand's publicly available criteria. These tools show you your own tally; they do not assess your eligibility or recommend a course of action.
Skilled Migrant points self-check
To apply for the Skilled Migrant Category resident visa, Immigration New Zealand requires at least 6 points from your skills and your work in New Zealand. You must also have a skilled job, or a job offer, with an accredited employer. You can claim points from ONE of these: your highest recognised qualification, OR your registration in a New Zealand profession or trade, OR your skilled job's income compared to the 2025 median wage. On top of that, you can add up to 3 points for skilled work experience in New Zealand. This tool adds up the points for what you enter, and compares the total to the published 6-point threshold. It does not assess your eligibility.
Accredited Employer Work Visa: readiness self-check
The Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) generally depends on three published checks: the employer must be accredited, the job must pass a job check, and the worker must meet the requirements for applicants (skills or experience, pay, and English, health and character where these apply). This tool counts how many of those checks the situation you enter appears to meet. It is a self-count against publicly available checks, not an assessment of your eligibility.
