Is there still a shortage of qualified tech workers and do you know if they make exceptions for those that don't meet the required amount of points for immigration? I'm short by 5 points because I don't have a degree (but I have well over a decade of experience in software development).
EDIT: N/M looks like I can get in easily if I'm offered a job by an NZ employer listed as an "absolute skill shortage", so I guess I answered my own question. I'm using this tool for anyone curious: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-a-visa/tools-and-information/tools/points-indicator-smc-28aug https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/apply-for-...

- indemnity 7y agoI came here with only high school, and I got in when my visitor visa explored via skill shortage path. I had 2 years of experience at the time. This was a over a decade ago though. Not on SV wages, but comfortable enough to be a single income household, supporting family of 4 with home almost paid off (140k USD p.a).
