What allowances can I enjoy when I immigrate to New Zealand?

# New Zealand Immigrants # Introduction For students applying to study in New Zealand, the natural concern is the generous allowances they provide. Next, what allowances can New Zealand immigrants enjoy?

1. What allowances can I enjoy when I immigrate to New Zealand?

1. Family benefits

Any child with PR can get a weekly allowance of NZ $6. Applicants must apply within six months of their arrival in New Zealand, counting from the date of arrival. When applying, they must provide information such as the child's birth certificate and residence. Generally speaking, this allowance will last until the child 15 years old, and disabled people after 18 years old need to apply for other kinds of relief. Child allowance will no longer apply. Usually, most of this allowance is paid to the mother of the child, but if the child is not raised by the biological mother, this allowance will be paid to the guardian who takes care of the child. Sometimes the child allowance can be paid in one lump sum instead of weekly. For example, you can buy one more house as an excuse, one at a time, avoiding the trouble of asking for one every week.

2. Family support

For families whose income is below a certain figure, the government gives tax reduction subsidies, that is, cold relief, which is suitable for families with one or two parents. For details, please consult the nearest New Zealand Revenue Authority.

3. Orphan welfare

This allowance is paid to the guardian who takes care of the orphan until the orphan reaches the age of 16, but if the orphan is still in school or physically disabled at the age of 16, the allowance will be extended until the orphan reaches the age of 18.

7. Unemployment benefits (unemployment benefits)

If/kloc-a person aged 0/6 or above can prove that he is really unable to work, he can apply for this kind of relief, but he must be willing to work and have been looking for a job. At the same time, he must register with the labor bureau and keep in touch with it in order to enjoy this benefit.

1 1. Accident compensation system.

The New Zealand Accident Compensation Board (ACC) provides unconditional rehabilitation and compensation for any serious injury and any occupational disease to anyone in New Zealand, including foreign tourists, at any time and place. The compensation includes:

During the treatment period, you can get an allowance of 80% of your original salary.

Get reasonable medical expenses and rehabilitation expenses.

Transportation expenses caused by receiving medical treatment

If you are injured at work, or on your way to work, or on your way home from work, then the employer will have to pay some compensation. The steps of ACC claim settlement are very simple. Just bring the doctor's diagnosis, go to the office of the accident compensation bureau nearby and fill out an accident notice and claim form.

The government subsidizes families who have to pay high rent, food, mortgage, home insurance and house maintenance.

13. Special accommodation benefits

Subsidies for families who cannot get other benefits but have to pay high rents.

2. New Zealand immigration channels

1, skilled migration

Skilled immigrants account for about 60% of New Zealand's total immigration quota. According to published data, about 3,000-3,500 China people get New Zealand green cards through skilled immigrants every year. After obtaining a New Zealand degree, international students can get an open work visa for one year to find a job, and they can apply for a work visa for at least two years after finding a related job. During this period, if you meet the immigration conditions, you can apply for immigration.

2. Family reunion immigrants

The basic requirement of such immigrants is that their immediate family members (parents or children) or spouses are in New Zealand, and marriage immigrants also belong to this category. Such immigrants have no age limit or academic qualifications for applicants.

3. Entrepreneurial immigrants

Entrepreneurial immigration requires applicants to have more than three years of business experience or senior management experience. The investment amount is required to be above NZ $6,543.8+10,000 (high-tech venture capital is allowed below NZ $6,543.8+10,000, which requires special approval from the Immigration Bureau), and the English level requires IELTS 4. Generally speaking, entrepreneurial immigrants not only solve the livelihood problem of New Zealand, but also get the green card of New Zealand, killing two birds with one stone. It is relatively difficult for entrepreneurial immigrants to operate on their own, because it involves business plans, business transfer, lawyers and other related links. Choosing a reliable lawyer or immigration agency can save you a lot of trouble.

4. Investing in immigrants

The threshold of investment immigration funds is higher, but the IELTS requirements are lower. New Zealand investment immigrants are divided into two categories, one is that the application threshold for non-English requirements is NZD 6.5438+million, and the other is that the application threshold for English requirements (IELTS 3) is NZD 6.5438+0.5 million. Compared with entrepreneurial immigrants, investment immigrants do not need to do business in one step, as long as the funds arrive and have a green card. The money can be invested by buying government bonds, stocks and funds. The key to this kind of immigration is the legitimacy of investment funds and the transfer of funds.
