Does it fit your family?

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Do you have a binding job offer in that country?

Not legal advice.

What it takes.

Time
Processing starts after the authority accepts a complete file; travel and work begin only after the required permission issues.
Cost
NZ$300 application fee on the current Government immigration page, plus medical, police, insurance and travel costs.
The hard part
Remote travel logistics and medical, police and insurance evidence.

This visa doesn’t lead to a passport.

  1. 2027
    First residence permit

    0.5 years, renewable for 0.5 years at a time.

Two passports
Yes. You keep your U.S. citizenship.
  • Time on this program does not count toward permanent residence or citizenship; the family would need to switch to one that does.
  • This permission is temporary or job-specific and does not by itself create a local permanent-residence or citizenship option.
The law behind these dates
4

Living there.

Time you must spend there
The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax
Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
