New Zealand Government Announces Big Changes To Immigration Settings

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.
