Introduction of New Zealand Spouses' Immigration Conditions

# New Zealand Immigration # Introduction For many couples or people who are about to become husband and wife, they can apply for New Zealand immigration through spouse immigration. Immigration New Zealand has put forward certain immigration application requirements for spouse immigrants, and only those who meet the requirements can apply for spouse immigration. Let's take a look.

1. Introduction to the immigration conditions of spouses in New Zealand

1, basic requirements

(1) Applicant's requirements

Good health; No serious criminal record; The relationship with the spouse is real.

(2) Requirements for spouses

No other spouse has been guaranteed or guaranteed in the last 5 years; The police station has no record of domestic violence; There are no other major criminal activities.

2. Specific requirements

According to the regulations of Immigration New Zealand, when requesting New Zealand spouse to settle down, the applicant has lived with both spouses for more than 65,438+02 months, and New Zealand residents or citizens have not guaranteed or sponsored other spouses in the past five years.

Just like applying for a work visa, the applicant should provide as many documents as possible to prove the cohabitation relationship, such as * * * the same account number, telephone list, photos, * * * the same property, etc. , may be asked for an interview.

For couples who have just married or lived together for a short time, the approval time will be as long as 6- 12 months to examine the authenticity and stability of the relationship between husband and wife. During the inspection and waiting for approval, the Immigration Bureau will issue an open work visa to the applicant.

In addition, when submitting a spouse's request for settlement, if the applicant is in New Zealand, he must hold a valid visa. If the visa has expired, the local immigration office in New Zealand will not accept the spouse to settle in China, and the applicant should return to his/her place of origin to submit an application.

3. Application materials

When you submit your application, you must prove that you live with your New Zealand spouse and have a real and stable relationship, which may include:

Notarization of marriage registration certificate; * * * The same bank account; Letters sent to the same address; The birth notarization of the child (if any); Photos taken at different stages; Correspondence; * * * Proof of the same assets, such as house, car or * * * proof of sharing a house; Rental certificate; * * * bills paid together; Proof of purchasing real estate or other assets by stages; Housing or health insurance; Letter of support from parents or friends.

4. Preventive measures

The processing time of spouse immigrant visa is about six months to one year, and the time for requesting approval mainly depends on whether the materials are prepared completely, the length and authenticity of cohabitation time. Due to the increasingly strict inspection of spouses' visas by the Immigration Bureau, applicants should take the initiative to provide as many documents as possible to prove cohabitation.

For couples who have just got married or lived together for a long time, most of the immigration authorities will take an interview to judge the authenticity of the relationship between husband and wife. The interview time ranges from 20 minutes to 2-3 hours, and the questions touch every aspect of life. As long as the answers to individual questions are inconsistent, it is possible to refuse the visa, so you must make full preparations before the interview.

During an interview with the Immigration Bureau, the interviewee's English level sometimes becomes the reference of the immigration officer, so don't be nervous when answering questions. At the same time, you must ensure that the information is complete when you request it, so as to reduce the possibility of an interview.

2. Advantages of immigrating to New Zealand

The advantages of immigrating to New Zealand, especially investment immigrants, skilled immigrants and many international students, can be felt in New Zealand. After immigrating to New Zealand, you can freely apply for schools and majors, and the tuition fee is only1/5-110 for international students. You can also apply for a loan from the government and repay it gradually after graduation and employment.

The New Zealand Immigration Bureau adjusted the score of immigration policy to 100, which is close to the degree that skilled immigrants can apply as long as they study in New Zealand. The Minister of Immigration of New Zealand also announced some major changes in the scoring system for skilled immigrants, and the overall policy was relaxed. The main points are as follows:

1. The absolute shortage of work reward points increased. The bonus points for academic qualifications in industries in short supply will be changed from 5 to 10, for experience in industries in short supply from 5 or 10 to 15, and for job security in industries in short supply from 5 to 10.

2. Increase the sponsor score of New Zealand's next of kin by 10, and the sponsor must have lived in New Zealand for 3 years.

3. Relax the requirements of some employment contracts.

4. Relax some work experience requirements.

5. Make it clear that some majors can apply without job security, such as nurses, teachers, communication engineering and creative industries.

6. The academic requirements of the technical industry have been reduced, and the professional scope of Grade 4 has been increased. Some majors, such as roofing technician, ship power and electrician, can apply for immigration as long as they require level 3. Exam 365 message

In addition, the salary increase in New Zealand closely follows the price index. Compared with last year, the salary level of New Zealand staff is 3.6% higher than last year.

Many majors are optimistic about salary increase and employment.

At present, the average salary increase of 3.6% in New Zealand is slightly higher than the increase of 3.4% in the consumer price index this year. I also asked a friend of mine, Peter Townsend (President of Canterbury Employers' Business Association), that the increase in employees' wages and transaction costs has made bosses' income even worse than their own employees. He also said that the average employee's salary increase is 3-4%, while 18% of the employees interviewed have a salary increase of about 4-5%.

Among them, especially in electronic engineering, the average salary of employees in this industry increased by 36.8%. Nurses also get a salary increase of nearly 19%, and salespeople get a salary increase of 13%. However, compared with those technicians, the salary increase of middle managers and supervisors is not obvious, with an increase of only 3.3%.
