Immigration to New Zealand requires weight loss, and overweight people will be rejected.

A British couple wanted to immigrate to New Zealand, but they were turned away because they were overweight. At present, the husband has successfully lost weight and is allowed to enter the country, but his wife is still "working hard" in the UK.

According to the Daily Mail 17, a British submarine cable expert tried to apply for a job at New Zealand Telecom, but was rejected by the New Zealand Immigration Bureau on the grounds that he was too fat.

The submarine cable expert's name is Ricky. Ron Trezzi, 33, and her husband Ricky, 35, were told by New Zealand that he had obtained a work visa when they applied for immigration. However, because his body mass index (converted from height and weight) was unqualified, he was rejected by the New Zealand Immigration Bureau.

The two then began to try to lose weight. In the end, Ricky succeeded in reducing his waistline by 5 cm, but Trezzi West's efforts had no effect. It is said that if Trezzi's weight is not up to standard before Christmas, the couple will have to give up their plan to immigrate to New Zealand.

Rich said, "My doctor made fun of me. He said that he had never seen anything more ridiculous. " Robin thomas, spokesman of the New Zealand organization "Beat Obesity", expressed his understanding of the government's regulation. "Because of this obese person, the government will increase medical expenditure. When there are more people in similar situations, you will understand the logic of this (seemingly unreasonable) regulation. "

Immigration New Zealand uses body mass index to measure obesity. Body mass index is the weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m). It is estimated that Richie's body mass index before losing weight is as high as 48, while the upper limit set by New Zealand is 25.

A spokesman for the New Zealand Anti-Obesity Organization explained that the Immigration Bureau did not give the green light to foreign obese people for fear that these obese people would crowd out.

According to the report, the New Zealand Immigration Bureau did not disclose how many immigrant applicants were rejected because they were overweight, but according to the website "Immigrating to New Zealand", many people had similar experiences with Treize West.
