Stay Requirements
Skilled-worker visa: tied to employment in-country; holder must genuinely work/reside there - settlement paths typically cap absences near 180 days/yr
medium confidenceHighlights
- 24-month residence and work permit

- Processing time of 3 months
- Points-based evaluation
- For skilled workers
The catch
- You have to actually live there. At least 183 days a year in-country — this becomes your main home, not a paper residency.
- Stays temporary. There's no built-in path to permanent residence — you'd need another route to settle for good.
