New Zealand uses English test results for residence and work visas and for registering nurses and doctors. The accepted tests and scores depend on the purpose, so the right test for one person may not suit another.
These articles cover English requirements for New Zealand skilled residence and health registration, which tests are accepted and how to choose between them. Always confirm the current rules on the official pages linked in each article.
Nursing Council NZ English requirements: OET 350 (300 writing) or IELTS Academic 7 (6.5 writing), no PTE, and a 12-month rule for combining sittings.
