Pathways to Residency and Citizenship in Tokelau

The covered route is a supported local work assignment with the appropriate work-authorizing permission or documented official exemption. Arrange the process with the employer and responsible Tokelau and village authorities before travel. A New Zealand passport alone does not establish the local work basis.

Use the residence comparison guide to compare the covered routes. Residence permission does not itself grant citizenship.
