85,000 people applied for a one-time residence visa in 8 months. What are the immigration methods in New Zealand?

The Minister of Immigration of New Zealand recently announced that more than one third of the immigrants applying for one-time residence visas are now New Zealand residents. In the eight months since the application process began, 85,000 people out of a population of 265,438+5,000 have obtained residence visas of 2026,5438+0, and 95% of the applications submitted in the first stage have now been resolved. The person in charge of immigration investment said that the participation of New Zealanders helped him reduce his work pressure. Employers will now have the opportunity to attract such skilled migrant workers, "which will be good news for their immigrant investment and New Zealand family businesses".

Skilled migration is also the most common way for immigrants to invest in New Zealand, because there is a huge job market vacancy in New Zealand, which accounts for about 60% of the total investment of New Zealand immigrants. According to the published statistics, about 3,000-3,500 China people master the New Zealand-US green card every year by means of skilled migration. Most ordinary people don't have the money to do entrepreneurial immigration or immigrant investment, and there are no relatives and friends overseas, so the road of loan guarantee is also impossible. Under such circumstances, only skilled immigrants can complete the residence of overseas immigrants.

The prerequisite for family reunion immigration is that New Zealand has blood relatives or the other half, but most people are not suitable. Few people have foreign fathers or mothers, or their brothers and sisters are New Zealand residents or individuals. The most common immigration project is marriage immigration. Most people spend a long time in New Zealand, and many people get American green cards by falling in love or getting married.

Entrepreneurial immigrants Entrepreneurial immigrants are also one of the most sought-after immigrant investment methods in recent years. Since the National Party's New Zealand Immigration Bureau lowered the investment threshold for immigrants in 2009, many people moved to New Zealand as entrepreneurial immigrants. The biggest advantage of entrepreneurial immigrants is that their asset requirements are lower than those of sex immigrants (NZ $200,000/NZ $500,000) and their English level is not high (IELTS 4).

Among them, the second-class entrepreneurial immigrants only need NZ $200,000, which is actually equivalent to RMB 1 10,000-10.2 million. Generally speaking, entrepreneurial immigrants buy mostly ready-made businesses, such as a small shop, supermarket or cafe in New Zealand. The business scale is not too large, just a small shop of more than ten square meters or twenty square meters.

The feasibility analysis of entrepreneurial immigration is also very high. Entrepreneurial immigrants not only overcome New Zealand's livelihood problems, but also get New Zealand's American green card, killing two birds with one stone. However, it is difficult for entrepreneurial immigrants to solve it alone, and it is difficult to judge the business type with insufficient innovation according to the case.

Immigration investment threshold is high, but IELTS requirements are low. There are two types of immigrant investment in New Zealand, one is NZ $6,543.8+million without English requirements (the rate is NZ $6,543.8+0.5, equivalent to RMB 50 million), and the other is NZ $6,543.8+0.5 million with English requirements (IELTS 3 points). Compared with entrepreneurial immigrants, immigrants invest in one step and don't buy or sell. As long as the assets arrive, they can get the American green card. This money can be used to complete the project investment by purchasing government bonds, individual stocks, stock funds and even welfare lottery tickets.

Pension Retirement Immigrants Investment Pension Retirement Immigrants Investment is an immigration method just launched by the New Zealand Immigration Bureau last year. Applicants and their spouses will get a green card in the United States, provided that the applicant is over 66 years old and has no background requirements. In short, it is similar to immigrant investment, as long as they have money. The asset threshold for elderly retired immigrants is NZ $750,000. If the same project is invested in designated industries, such as bonds, stocks, funds, etc., after the applicant submits the application, the whole family will get a three-month tourist visa to enter the customs together. In the meantime, the money will be introduced into the designated investment industry, and then get the American green card.

These are the key ways to immigrate to New Zealand, and applicants should choose according to their own standards. It is best for immigrants to go to New Zealand before investing, so as to reduce the one-sidedness of immigrants and reduce the probability of returning to China.
