Hello all!
My name is Jasper and I live in Selangor, Malaysia. I graduated with BEng Mechanical Engineering. Previous job was Project Engineer(M&E) and Intern for 2 years. Currently, I'm working as Business Operations Manager in a FMCG company.
I plan to have a change in environment and career. After numerous research, I have decided to work in New Zealand (Wellington / Bay of Plenty if possible).
I have gone through the immigration website and have some idea of visa applicable to me which is Residence Visa(SMC) and Work to Residence Visa. However, it is impossible for me to obtain the minimum EOI points which is 160 at the moment without securing a job offer. Hence, both options would require me to secure a job offer before applying.
It would be extremely helpful if anyone from Malaysia or anywhere else in the world who managed to migrate to NZ using these two method could share their experience. Any help or comments are highly appreciated.
Cheers!
