New Zealand Immigration – at the cross roads
New Zealand's immigration cycles create challenges for long-term planning in health, education, and infrastructure. With a declining net migration and an aging population, the country needs stable, long-term migration policies to address future workforce and demographic needs.
The challenges of immigration changes
The last 30+ years have seen 17 Ministers of Immigration, 5 changes of Government, and thousands of policy changes. Inconsistency of INZ's decision-making has remained the only constant.
Visa charges to increase from 1 October
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has announced very significant increases to most visa application fees, which will take effect from October 1, 2024.
What’s happening with Australian immigration
Australia is tightening its immigration policies aiming to reduce net migration, changing its visa policies to favour key trading partners, and scrapping certain investment visas. What does this mean for NZ?
Government responds to unsustainable net migration
Immediate changes have been announced to the Accredited Employer Worker Visa (AEWV) scheme.
New Zealand v Australia – with immigration also!
There has always been great rivalry, and comradery, between New Zealand and Australia. Such competition also extends to the world of migration.
Migration statistics – what are they and what do they mean?
There is much hype every month about New Zealand’s net migration numbers and what these mean for the country.
End of year immigration update for employers
The immigration landscape has undergone several impactful changes in 2023, particularly in the last few months. And then, of course, has been the change of Government!
What Immigration Changes can we expect from the new Government?
We would like to see the Government taking a little more time to get it right first time!
Migrant exploitation – a blight and cost on all New Zealand
New Zealand has historically had a reputation as being relatively free of corruption, but this reputation is at serious risk with the current high incidence of migrant exploitation now rife in the country.
Its Election Time (again!) –a time to reflect…
So what have been the “immigration take-outs” of the last six years of the current Government?
Immigration statistics – what are they telling us?
Over recent months there has been much hype over the resurgence in immigration, with a net annual migration gain of 100,000 people being widely predicted. So what can we deduce from the immigration statistics for 2023 to date?
