New Zealand immigration policy

As a well-known rich country in the southern hemisphere, New Zealand has attracted worldwide attention. The air environment here is extremely beautiful and clean, and many extreme natural ecosystems have no traces of man-made destruction. It is a good place to travel, spend holidays and live. Let's share the latest immigration policy about New Zealand.

The new policy of immigration-the salary threshold of skilled immigrants has been raised again. As the median income of New Zealand has increased by 2.9% this year compared with the same period of last year, the salary requirements of skilled immigrants have also increased. Here is a table for you to see the salary requirements of skilled immigrants now:

In addition to the increase in salary requirements, other basic requirements of skilled immigrants remain unchanged:

1, aged 55 or below

2. Good health and no criminal record.

3. Language requirements: The total IELTS score is above 6.5 or other equivalent level, and the test can be exempted in some cases.

4. Have academic qualifications, work experience and salary level that meet the requirements of skilled immigrants in New Zealand.

5. Get 160 or above in the scoring system for skilled immigrants.

If the salary requirement of skilled immigrants is "routine increase", then another new policy implemented today is earth-shaking change.

The new immigration policy II. The new work visa policy for international students will be implemented after graduation. From 2065438+2008165438+1October 26th, qualified international students can get an open work visa (also often called an open work visa) for up to three years after graduation.

With an open work visa, you can hold any position for any employer, except for industries specified by law (limited to prostitution in New Zealand).

The Law on Sexual Services prohibits temporary visa holders from engaging in, operating and investing in prostitution services.

The official website, Immigration New Zealand, publishes policy details in Chinese.

1. New visa applicant If you did not hold a student visa on August 8, 20 18 and did not apply for a student visa accepted by Immigration New Zealand, this form is applicable.

pay attention to

If you get your degree after this date, you may only get a one-year postgraduate open work permit; If you get a postgraduate diploma after graduation and seek to apply for registration with professionals or trade unions, your stay can be extended by one year.

2. From 2022, I will get a 4-6 degree or non-degree level through two years of further study.

International students with a degree of 7 will enjoy a one-year postgraduate work visa. If they have obtained the postgraduate diploma applied for registration in a professional or trade union organization, the stay period of their postgraduate work visa can be extended by one year (currently only applicable to the registration of teachers' profession).

3. Students with Level7 bachelor's degree or above will continue to enjoy a three-year postgraduate work visa.

2. If the existing student visa holder holds a student visa on August 8, 20 18 or the student visa application submitted has been accepted by the New Zealand Immigration Bureau, this form is applicable.

note:

If you get a graduate work visa before 2065438+08165438+126 October, you will be eligible for a one-year open work visa or a two-year employer-sponsored work visa.

However, after 2018165438+2610, you can choose to remove the job and employer's name printed on the work visa, and then change jobs or employers don't need to contact Immigration New Zealand.

3. This form is applicable to the holders of existing graduate work visas who hold post-graduation work visas on August 8, 20 18, or those who obtain graduate work visas after these changes take effect on October 26, 20 165438/KLOC-0.

4. Guarantee the spouse's work visa If the student visa is a level7 or level8 course, the academic qualifications need to meet the requirements of long-term shortage to qualify for the spouse. level

9- 10 course is the same as before, and you can directly sponsor your spouse.

New Zealand Immigration Minister IianLees-Galloway once said, "The New Deal (after graduation) provides a way for international students to immigrate."

However, although this new policy of signing workers to immigrants seems simple, there are hidden mysteries everywhere.

JaimeZhuang, an immigration consultant, said that some seemingly simple questions are often ignored by students, but if you are not careful, you may not get a three-year open work visa.

The academic courses I have completed must be consistent with the academic courses indicated on the student visa.

If you want to get a two-year open work permit outside Auckland, this degree must be completed outside Auckland.

If two grades 4-6 are used for academic certification, the two degrees must start in the same year (calendar year) or two consecutive years (calendar year). I just can't read CET-4 first, and then read CET-5 a year later.

Remember, you must apply for an open work permit within the specified time. That is, apply within 3 months after the course expires (PhD is within 6 months); If you already hold an open work permit of 1 year, you should apply within the validity period of this open work permit of 1 year.

Although it is an open work visa, you should pay attention to finding a job. Jaime said that although holding an open work permit can do any job for any employer (except prostitution), if you plan to immigrate in the future, you need to consider the help of holding an open work permit for future immigrants, such as adding points to your work experience.

Especially for undergraduate students who do not intend to leave Auckland and have no work experience and spouse, it is particularly important to add points for work experience if they want to reach the standard of skilled migration scores.

Skilled immigrants get extra points for their work experience. It is suggested that graduates who intend to immigrate should purposefully look for and engage in jobs that can give extra points for their future immigrants while holding open work visas.

In addition, career development and salary level should also be considered. The current skilled migration policy has strict requirements on salary, which has been improved today and must be carefully considered.
