New Zealand Skilled Immigrants # New Zealand Immigrants are tightening, to whom?

Changes in New Zealand's immigration policy include:

1. Anyone who works in New Zealand with an annual salary of less than 48,859 yuan will not be granted a visa in the category of high-tech immigrants; Applicants who are permanent residents of New Zealand will not get SMC points if their annual salary is lower than this figure. The annual income is 48,859 yuan, which is the median annual income of New Zealanders.

2. Immigrant applicants whose annual salary exceeds 73,299 yuan will be automatically classified as high-tech immigrants. This income is 0.5 times the median annual income of 65438+ New Zealanders.

3. On the SMC score table of high-tech immigrants, it will also be readjusted, so that the technical level of high-paying applicants between the ages of 30 and 39 will be more recognized, that is, these applicants will get more priority.

3. Limit the duration of low-skilled work visas to a maximum of three years. After that, you must go through the shortest pause period before you can apply for another visa.

4. Spouses and children of holders of low-skilled work visas will no longer receive low-skilled work visas, but will enter New Zealand on visiting visas; This means that these people can only get a work visa if they meet the application conditions; Children who are initially registered as New Zealand residents can become international students. This change will bring great difficulties to the families of low-skilled work visa holders.

5. Ensure that the duration of seasonal professional visas meets the peak labor demand, instead of issuing them every 12 months as it is now. For some fruit pickers, the work visa may be shortened to only half a year.
