Pitcairn Islanders are considered for a resident visa under a special category because New Zealand recognises that there are few employment opportunities on Pitcairn Island.
Pitcairn Islanders must be approved for a resident visa if they:
apply in the prescribed manner (see R2.35 - R2.45), and
meet health and character requirements (see A4 and A5), and
have an offer of employment in New Zealand that meets the requirements of SM7.15.
