New Zealand is a popular teach-abroad destination with a huge demand for teachers. NZ also offers aย Work to Residence visa pathway via theย Green List.

Afterwards, you must fulfil two years of relevant work in New Zealand under an appropriate visa. Once this stipulation is satisfied, you can move forward with your Work to Residence Visa application.
