Which IELTS test to practice
For the Work to Residence Visa (Green List Tier 2), practice IELTS Academic or IELTS General Training. Immigration New Zealand (INZ) lists it among the five skilled residence visas, which share one English standard. That standard is stated as an overall score. Listening and Speaking are the same in both modules; only Reading and Writing change.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band |
|---|---|
| Principal applicant | 6.5 or more |
| Partner or dependent child aged 16 or over | 5.0 |
The visa also requires 24 months’ work in a Tier 2 Green List job at the required wage rate.
Before you book the real test
INZ can change the score and the Green List itself. Check the requirement before you book: English language requirements for skilled residence visas.
