]]> In view of the shortage of workers in New Zealand, the government has taken a big step. For this, some necessary updates have been made in the visa rules while improving the immigration process. The purpose of this change is to reduce the work experience for working and increase the limit of work visa, which will help Indian workers as well as workers from other countries to get work here easily.

Work experience was also reduced

Earlier, it was necessary to have at least three years of experience to work in New Zealand. Now, in view of the huge shortage of workers in the country, it has been reduced to two years. New Zealand has now found two ways for seasonal workers as well.

Under this, experienced seasonal workers will be given a multi-entry visa with a validity of three years and a seven-month single-entry visa for less experienced workers. This step has been taken keeping in mind the demand for seasonal workers. Along with this, New Zealand has also increased the visa limit of two years to three years for those jobs which fall within the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification (ANZSCO) skill level 4 or 5.

You will have to earn enough to support your family

Apart from this, New Zealand has now also removed the average salary criteria for Employer Work Visa (AEWV) and Specific Purpose Work Visa (SPWV). Under this new rule, employers can offer salary as per the market rate for the job role and location while posting for the job. However, they no longer need to meet the pre-determined salary criteria.

However, now there is no average salary criterion after 2025. But if an employer work visa holder wants to bring his children to New Zealand, he will have to earn 55,844 New Zealand dollars, which is about Rs 27 lakh annually. Along with this, now recognized employers also do not need to complete New Zealand’s online training module.

]]> New Zealand New Visa Rules: After Australia and Canada tightened visa rules to curb the number of immigrants, New Zealand has also increased the qualification requirements for foreigners to get jobs in the country. This move is likely to affect Indians looking for employment in New Zealand.

With the new visa guidelines, the New Zealand government aims to control the influx of migrants deemed ‘unsuitable’ for entry into the country.

The new guidelines include English language proficiency, work experience and skills criteria. It also reduces the period of stay on a work visa from 5 years to 3 years.

New Zealand’s Immigration Minister Erica Stanford on Sunday announced amendments to the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV).

Introduced in 2022 to ease workforce shortages due to the pandemic and lockdown, the AEWV serves as the main temporary work visa. Stanford said visa restrictions would be beneficial for migrant rights.

The new rules could essentially make it harder for Indians and other immigrants from countries outside the Anglosphere to come and work in New Zealand.

What do the figures say?
According to data from ENZ.org (affiliated with the New Zealand government), around 18,000 Indians have migrated to the country since 2011. The 2018 NZ Census revealed that Indians constitute about 4.7 percent of New Zealand’s total population.

In October 2023, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that there are approximately 250,000 persons of Indian origin and NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) in New Zealand, the majority of whom are permanently settled there.

The statement said a record 173,000 people moved to New Zealand last year, which has a population of about 5.1 million.
