Six ways to immigrate to New Zealand

Article 1 Six ways to immigrate to New Zealand

1, New Zealand skilled immigrants

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.

Most of the first generation immigrants are basically skilled immigrants from New Zealand. And seeking skilled immigrants, as the name implies, must have at least one skill to be considered as having the basic conditions.

2. New Zealand family reunion immigrants

The basic condition of this kind of immigrants is to have relatives or spouses in New Zealand, which rarely happens in real life, but marriage immigration belongs to the category of family reunion immigration, so it is also one of the more popular immigration methods.

Marriage immigration has no age limit, education background, English level or even gender requirements for applicants (New Zealand supports same-sex couples), so marriage immigration is probably the simplest of many immigration methods.

3. New Zealand entrepreneur immigrants

Entrepreneurship migration is also one of the most popular migration routes in recent years. Since the National Party's New Zealand Immigration Bureau lowered the threshold for such immigrants in 2009, many people moved to New Zealand through entrepreneurial immigration.

Entrepreneurial immigrants are characterized by low capital requirements (NZD 200,000/NZD 500,000) and low English proficiency requirements (IELTS 4). Among them, the second-class entrepreneurial immigrants only need 200,000 New Zealand dollars, which is about 6,543.8+0,000 to 6,543.8+0.2 million RMB.

4. New Zealand investment immigrants

The threshold of investment immigration funds is high, but the IELTS requirements are low. New Zealand investment immigrants are divided into two categories: 1, the threshold for applying without English requirements100000 NZD (exchange rate1:50 million RMB), and 2, the threshold for applying with English requirements (IELTS score 3) of NZD 3 million.

Compared with entrepreneurial immigrants, investment immigrants do not need to do business in one step. As long as the funds arrive, the green card will be available. The money can be invested by buying government bonds, stocks, funds and even lottery tickets.

5. Retired elderly immigrants from New Zealand

Retirement migration for the elderly is a kind of migration method introduced by New Zealand Immigration Bureau. Applicants and their spouses can get green cards.

The basic requirement is that the applicant is over 66 years old, with no language requirements and no background requirements. To put it bluntly, investing in immigrants is enough. The financial threshold for retired elderly immigrants is NZ $750,000, and they also invest in designated areas, such as government bonds, stocks and funds. After the applicant submits the application, the whole family can get a three-month tourist visa and enter the country together. In the meantime, the money needs to be injected into the designated investment field and then get a green card.

6. Humanitarian assistance to migrants

Humanitarian aid migrants are also called refugee migrants. Refugees refer to those people who have sufficient reasons to fear persecution because of their country, nationality, religious beliefs, political views, special groups, etc., and therefore have fled their country and have not been properly resettled.
