如果为新西兰本地学历或英语环境下工作超过一年有机会豁免雅思，但移民官仍有权利要求申请人提供雅思成绩。
如果不符合以上条件那么则必须提供雅思成绩，没有例外。所以不要有侥幸心理。

Principal applicants
For the principal applicant (the person making the application) the minimum standard of English is an International English Language Testing Systems (IELTS) certificate, with an overall band score of 6.5 or better in the General or Academic modules. The certificate must be less than two years old.
However, you may not have to take the IELTS test, if you can show us that you:
have a recognised qualification from a course taught entirely in English
have ongoing skilled employment in New Zealand, and have been in the job for at least the last 12 months
have other evidence that you are competent in English - we will consider the evidence that you provide.
In all cases, we may still require an IELTS certificate.
