Would-be migrants can claim valuable points as skilled sex workers or escorts, according to information on Immigration NZ's (INZ) website.
But an immigration expert say it would be difficult for any applicant to succeed.
The agency confirmed sex work/escort is on the skilled employment list, despite it not being on the skill-shortage list.
A sex worker or escort is defined as someone as providing clients with sexual services or social companionship.

"The list itself comes from the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) list and not INZ," an agency spokeswoman said.
According to information on INZ's website, sex worker or escort is listed as an ANZSCO level 5 skilled employment, and applicants could claim points if they were paid at or above $36.44 per hour, which is $75,795 based on a 40-hour week.
The applicant would also have to be qualified in ways that include having a recognised qualification or have at least three years of relevant work experience.
The New Zealand Association of Migration and Investment (NZAMI) said, despite it being on the skilled employment list, it was difficult for would-be applicants to claim points.
"Even though prostitution is a lawful occupation, it is not an occupation that an immigrant can undertake on a temporary visa, sex work is specifically excepted," said NZAMI spokesman Peter Moses.
"An applicant would have to be onshore lawfully and not working, or off-shore while applying for residence. And they would need a formal offer of employment - also not the rule."
Moses said the profession was on the list and falls into policy because it is on the ANZSCO list.
"There would be many other issues that would make it unlikely to succeed," he said.
Association members had not come across anyone claiming points as a skilled sex worker.
Hamilton-based sex worker Lisa Lewis said it was "absurd" for the profession to be listed when it is illegal for temporary migrants to do sex work here.
New Zealand Prostitutes Collective co-founder Catherine Healy is aware that sex worker is on the skilled employment list, but did not know of anyone who had moved here as one.
The INZ spokeswoman said the agency doesn't grant residence or temporary entry visas to anyone who provided or intended to provide commercial sexual services.
She said this was in line with the Prostitution Reform Act 2003, which said no temporary visa or permission may be granted to anyone with intentions to provide, operate or invest in commercial sex.
大家怎么看,新西兰未来的职业前景选择面不少哦
惠灵顿一名妓女Sissi表示:
妓院里散客一般一个小时收费$160-$220,性工作者拿大约一半,受欢迎的女孩可能一周有5个以上客人,有机会挣到一千元以上。不过大部分人的周收入少于一千,有时候妓院清淡的时候8个小时都没有客人。
之所以有很多中国妓女来新西兰,经济原因当然是她们首要考虑的因素。
一位来自湖南的21岁持非法签证的性工作者对新西兰的就业环境还是较为满意。因为即使被警察抓住了,也不会坐牢,最多就是移民局遣返回国。
“即便我只收80,也比我在中国赚得多。”

而许多学生迫于经济压力做援交也经常可见。

你可能也会问,她们不害怕被遣返吗?
并不是所有妓女都不害怕被遣返,毕竟新西兰的行业环境还是很吸引人的,到其他地方很难有这么好的环境。

奥克兰大学学者David Ting为做一个社会研究,一共采访了20位在奥克兰从事性交易的亚裔人士,发现其中一半人拿着临时签证。
大部分非法工作的亚洲性工作者承认,妓院的老板经常用遣返来威胁她们。
有一名性工作者透露甚至有顾客想要得到她的免费服务,还会以向移民局举报来威胁她。
这样的事情在她身上已经发生了三次,她完全被吓坏了。
