Tianshanjun received great news as soon as he turned on the computer today!
New Zealand Immigration Minister said today that the policy of "only immigrants on the green list can apply for open work visas for their partners" will be adjusted to . "At present, immigrant partners continue to enjoy the right to open work visas, and subsequent changes will only apply to visas issued after the new policy is officially implemented." More details about the new spouse's work visa policy are expected to be announced in February next year.
In other words, the new spouse's work visa policy, which was originally scheduled to take effect in December 2022, has been postponed to take effect in April 2023!
I have to say that Tianshanjun was really relieved to see this news today. Our visa teacher has been working overtime every day recently. I hope he can submit it to you before it takes effect. Now everyone can finally take a break.
At the same time, the Immigration Minister also said: "A key point of rebalancing is to focus on cultivating the skills required by New Zealand. The past system was biased towards a large number of low-wage labor in certain industries. This is a transformation, but it is more beneficial to the New Zealand economy and it will also reduce the issue of immigration exploitation under the old system."
It has to be said that at the moment when the "snatch war" on the global scale is in full swing, New Zealand announced that only immigrants on the green list can apply for work visas for their partners to apply for work visas. Many workers choose New Zealand not only because of the high wages in New Zealand, but also because they can bring spouses. It is better for the couple to work hard outside together than to wander alone in a foreign land alone. Moreover, the two of them not only earn more money when going abroad together, but also can take care of each other and be more motivated! Friends who want to apply for a New Zealand spouse work visa must hurry up. After all, it is now clear that the application difficulty of New Zealand's spouse work visa will increase a lot after April next year! Apply early, issue visa early, leave the country early, and make money early!
