Introduction of New Zealand Immigrant Welfare System

In recent years, many people choose to immigrate to New Zealand, because New Zealand has a free and mature medical system and high-quality education. The following is an introduction to the New Zealand immigrant welfare system compiled by KaoNet. Welcome to read!

Introduction of New Zealand Immigrant Welfare System

I. Economic System New Zealand is a developed country, with the largest export volume of mutton and dairy products and the second export volume of wool.

Tourism: New Zealand has fresh air, beautiful environment, warm and pleasant climate and tourist attractions all over the country. There are many volcanoes and hot springs in the North Island of New Zealand, and glaciers and lakes in the South Island. Tourism is the second largest foreign exchange earning industry after dairy products.

Second, the social welfare system

Welfare in New Zealand can be divided into two categories: student welfare and ordinary resident welfare. New Zealand's social welfare system is divided into the following four categories:

1, medical benefits

General outpatient clinics in New Zealand are run by family doctors, who generally pay the doctor's fees themselves, and they also need to pay for medicine when they take the doctor's prescription to the pharmacy, but low-and middle-income people can enjoy the assistance of outpatient fees and medicine fees with the "community service card".

Emergency, serious illness and surgery need to go to public hospitals, free of charge. The day outpatients in public hospitals also enjoy free treatment, and the outpatients only accept patients by appointment.

If you choose a private hospital for any treatment, you need to bear all the expenses yourself, or you can apply for private medical insurance and enjoy the medical and surgical services of private institutions.

Note: New Zealand immigrants should register with their family doctors after their arrival, so as to get cheaper consultation fees and prescription drugs from family doctors. If you don't register, you will become a "temporary" patient and have to pay a higher fee. (You can enjoy free medical treatment with a working visa of more than 2 years, and the outpatient fee will be paid accordingly).

2. Education benefits

Education from primary school to secondary school is completely free, and university education in New Zealand requires tuition fees. Although the government bears most of the expenses, local students still have to pay thousands of dollars in tuition every year.

Full-time students can apply for interest-free tuition and living expenses loans, and students from low-and middle-income families can also enjoy student subsidies and housing subsidies to ensure that every student will not lose the opportunity to receive education because of financial difficulties.

3. Pension benefits

Pension requirements:

People aged 20-65 have lived in New Zealand for at least 10 years.

After the age of 50, you need to live in New Zealand for at least 5 years.

After the age of 65

Scrap amount:

Elderly people living alone: NZD 4 10 per week.

Couple: NZD 3 10 per person per week, NZD 620 per week.

I. Overview of Investment Immigrants Investment immigrants have a high capital threshold, but low requirements for English, education and work experience, which is the choice of local tyrants.

Second, New Zealand investment immigrants are divided into two categories.

1. A class of investment immigrants

There is no English requirement, and the application threshold is NZ $6,543,800,000 (about RMB 50,000,000 at the current exchange rate close to 654.38+0: 5).

2. Second-class investment immigrants

English requires an IELTS score of 3, and the application threshold has been raised from the current NZ $6.5438+0.5 million to NZ $3 million, but the number of places per year has been correspondingly increased from 300 to 400.

Third, the basic requirements of investment immigration

1. A class of investment immigrants

Due to the huge amount, there are almost no other requirements except basic conduct and health, and local tyrants will bring money appropriately.

2. Second-class investment immigrants

In addition to the requirement of IELTS 3, the most challenging point, like entrepreneurial immigrants, is still "at least three years of business experience". The types of working experience are: legal person, shareholder and senior manager. If the "business experience" comes from "the position of the company's senior management", it must be at least 5 years' experience, and the company is required to achieve an annual turnover of NZD 654.38+0 million, or employ more than 5 full-time employees.

There is no requirement for investment immigrants to start businesses. These funds can be used to buy government bonds, stocks, funds and even lottery tickets. Of course, investing in business is also very reasonable.
