It is interesting to note that thousands and thousands of
individuals from all around the world are dreaming of moving to New Zealand as
immigrants. And for many of them who have worked hard and are ready to move
there, the pandemic became a huge hurdle as they had to put their plans on
pause. The government of New Zealand decided to close its borders to ensure
that the virus does not spread a lot in the country and it has been working
hard to ensure that the people living in the country are kept safe.
But things cannot remain that way and New Zealand needs to
reopen its borders. To ensure that things remain okay and the government still
has a good handle on the pandemic, the government has created strategies and
made changes. And one of the changes that the government of the country has
made is with regards to immigration as it plans on reopening the country to
people from outside.
The need to open the borders
It is understandable why the government of New Zealand decided
to close its borders when the pandemic started. However, with more knowledge
and strategies made to handle the virus, it is also understandable that the
country should start to reopen its borders. It needs to do this as it cannot
really function well all alone. It needs immigration as immigrants have been
known to help bring in more people in the labor market. Reopening the borders
would also mean allowing tourists in which would help with the recovery of the
tourism industry of the country.
Jacinda Arden is the Prime Minister of New Zealand and she
has disclosed that one of the changes would be changed Accredited Employer Work
Visa route that would be more streamlined and it should be up and running
starting July 4th. With this, employers in the country would not be required to
give a lot of information, thus allowing the process of bringing in the needed
immigrant workers a lot faster.
More changes in the immigration system
For the Accredited Employer Work Visa and the Foreign Fish
Crew Visa, there would be a wage threshold which is said to be at the medium
range. This would be at $27.76. Also, exemptions would be made for industries that
include hospitality and tourism that has a threshold of $25 and this would be
until April 2023. For other industries like construction and infrastructure,
seasonal snow and adventure tourism, seafood, and meat processing, there will
be a lower threshold in wages. Those who wish to move to New Zealand may have to
wait for the official announcement and changes before sending in their
applications.
