New Zealand's latest immigration policy, what conditions do you need to immigrate to New Zealand?

Hello, there are five ways to immigrate to New Zealand.

skilled immigration

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.

Skilled immigrants are divided into two situations: overseas direct application and studying in New Zealand, and they apply after obtaining qualifications in New Zealand. After obtaining a New Zealand degree, international students can get an open work visa for one year to find a job, and they can apply for a work visa for at least two years after finding a related job. If you meet the immigration requirements during this period, you can apply for a green card.

Study abroad immigrants

If it is difficult for domestic majors to find employment in New Zealand, such as English major, Chinese language major, law major, etc. Some majors are limited by policy and cultural differences, so it is really difficult to find employment in New Zealand. At this time, only consider taking a course in New Zealand and seeking overseas immigrants.

To apply for a study visa in New Zealand, you need to provide a certain amount of funds as a guarantee for studying abroad, which is about10.5 million RMB/year. For example, a two-year master's program will provide 300,000 guarantee funds. These funds can be unfrozen after obtaining a visa.

The New Zealand Immigration Bureau also provides a special account for studying abroad, allowing you to apply without proof of the source of funds for studying abroad, which facilitates a large number of students to study in New Zealand.

If you have good IELTS scores and high academic qualifications, you can consider taking a postgraduate diploma, and you can enter the school directly across majors and graduate in one year. Those with low IELTS or academic qualifications can consider reading a two-year certificate or a junior college. The admission requirements of universities and polytechnics in New Zealand are relatively relaxed, and almost everyone can choose suitable courses for further study.

After graduation in the local area, New Zealand has good follow-up policy support, and has a work visa of up to 3-4 years after graduation. During this period, after meeting the requirements, you can apply for skilled migration. Simply put, as long as you apply for skilled migration, if you are in New Zealand, it is necessary to have a job that matches your major. Immigration is unlikely to absorb an unemployed person as a citizen.

Entrepreneurial immigrants

Entrepreneurship migration is also one of the most popular migration routes in recent years. This kind of entrepreneurial immigration requires applicants to have more than 3 years of business experience or more than 5 years of senior management experience. The required investment amount is more than NZD 6.5438+10,000 (high-tech entrepreneurship is allowed to invest less than NZD 6.5438+10,000, which requires special approval from the Immigration Bureau), and the English ability is low (IELTS 4).

investment immigration

The threshold of investment immigration funds is higher, but the IELTS requirements are lower. New Zealand investment immigrants are divided into two categories, one is that the application threshold for non-English requirements is NZD 6.5438+million, and the other is that the application threshold for English requirements (IELTS 3) is NZD 6.5438+0.5 million. Compared with entrepreneurial immigrants, investment immigrants do not need to do business in one step, as long as the funds arrive and have a green card. The money can be invested by buying government bonds, stocks and funds. The key to this kind of immigration is the legitimacy of investment funds and the transfer of funds.

Family reunion immigrants

The basic requirement for such immigrants is to have a blood relative or spouse in New Zealand, but most of them do not apply, and no one happens to have an overseas father or mother. But this kind of immigration is also a very popular way, because marriage immigration belongs to this category. Among many immigration methods, marriage immigration is indeed the easiest one and the one with the lowest conditions. Applicants have no age limit, education or even gender requirements (New Zealand supports same-sex couples). To put it simply, talking about a friend in New Zealand and establishing a relationship with this New Zealand citizen or resident (you don't need to get married, you can have a relationship) have the basic application conditions.
