Kramvi Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Hi all It's been a while that I was here before just wanting advice on how to migrate to Australia. If this topic is already under some other headline administrator please move this thread there. I have been a New Zealand Citizen for the past few years. I have a business of my own and a job I work in. I have a property and business under my name here. I was wondering what the procedure for NZ Citizens was to get a PR in Australia. I am already 54 years old. Is it too late now? I was wanting to move there to complete my doctorate that I had started years ago and left half way. Is the procedure the same for NZ citizens as of any other country or is the process any easier? Would appreciate any advice on this please . Thanks so much guys Edited February 2, 2020 by Kramvi addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much guys I think you can live in Australia for as long as you want, but if you want pr you have to apply for it. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.govt.nz/browse/leaving-nz/travel-or-move-to-australia/&ved=2ahUKEwjClMb_lbPnAhXSEcAKHV1KDykQFjABegQIDhAG&usg=AOvVaw0cVPHoGg3LHEVpSqKj2Mra&cshid=1580657188687 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramvi Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 Thanks NewJez I know I will have to apply for PR But what I want to know is if it is a straight forward process after one lives and works in OZ or do I need to hire a lawyer for the right advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhand Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The link provided does give you the details. You will need to qualify for PR, but there are some age and skills concessions available to Kiwi citizens who go down the employer sponsored route, that are not available to others.

Since I am a New Zealand Citizen the most logical thing to do would be to start working in Australia and after 5 years apply for a PR there But it is still not clear what field qualifies for this kind of PR I have been working in the hospitality management field and at the same time I want to complete my doctorate from Australia Not sure if part time work will also qualify as a trade that will be considered as contributing to Australia In the link it says that one should have been contributing to Australia through one's trade and also that this trade should be exceptional Any help on this will be highly appreciated Thanks so much folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
