New Zealand adjusts immigration policy and extends relevant visa time limit.

According to New Zealand Tianwei. For overseas workers who need to apply for "visas" continuously, the policy adjustment of the Immigration Bureau is undoubtedly the most sensitive issue. Recently, the New Zealand Immigration Service has once again adjusted some existing immigration policies. This adjustment is "beneficial and harmless" to holders of working holiday visas and applicants for basic skills work visas.

It is reported that, as a country that has opened a working holiday visa to China, the New Zealand Immigration Bureau is still "relaxing" the restrictions on Chinese visa applicants. 17, the New Zealand Immigration Bureau quietly updated the relevant policies on China's work holiday program, and officially extended the period for visa holders to study in New Zealand.

According to the report, all along, holders of working holiday visas, like ordinary tourist visas, can only attend training courses in New Zealand for no more than three months, but starting from 17, this training time limit will be extended to six months.

In the eyes of many immigration consultants, such a policy is "loose", which increases the possibility for visa holders to receive professional training, apply for further study and stay in New Zealand after the visa expires. Hao Wei, a Balance immigration consultant company studying in Weibo, said in an interview that the three-month course restriction is generally only for language courses or other short-term courses without certificates. "Extending the study period will greatly enrich the course selection scope of working holiday visa holders, and you can consider a more technical half-year certificate course. In addition to increasing your skills, you can also lay the foundation for possible follow-up study plans. "

Hao Wei said that in fact, the policy adjustment of working holiday visa is only a part of the new regulations implemented by the Immigration Bureau today. Another major "benefit" is the change in the application requirements for basic skills work visas.

As we all know, a very important requirement in the necessary skills work visa is that the employer must conduct a labor test in advance to prove that it is really impossible to hire suitable candidates in the local labor market. However, after the implementation of this new policy, holders of basic skills who have submitted applications for skilled migration and are awaiting trial can be exempted from labor tests when renewing their contracts, as long as they meet the following conditions:

1, with a temporary work visa;

2. The basic skills work visa application has been submitted; and

3. Meet all other application requirements for basic skills and meet one of the following conditions:

A. An invitation letter for skilled immigrants has been obtained from the Immigration Bureau to apply for the current position; or

B. The application for skilled migration has been submitted, but this application is not over yet.
