What to Look for in choosing a New Zealand Licensed Immigration Adviser
Choosing from the 1300+ licenced immigration advisers, and hundreds of immigration lawyers, is a confronting challenge. So what are the key considerations?
Changing or ending employment on an Accredited Employer Work Visa?
If you are an Accredited Employer Work Visa holder changing jobs or if your employment ends, you may be eligible to just apply for a Variation of Conditions.
Visas for partners of New Zealand citizens and residents
A person may apply for a work, visitor or resident visa based on their partnership relationship with their NZ citizen or resident partner.
Teaching in New Zealand
Teachers have various pathways to New Zealand residence under the Immigration Green List.
Dealing with False, Misleading or Withheld Information
In September 2023, INZ changed the way they deal with false, misleading, or withheld information while processing temporary and resident visa applications.
Further changes to the Accredited Employer Work Visa
The next round of the previously announced changes to the AEWV regime come into effect from 10 March 2025.
Obtaining an International Qualification Assessment (IQA)
If you are planning a move to NZ, you may need to have your qualifications assessed by the NZQA.
What immigration changes can employers expect in 2025?
Employers are going to see multiple positive changes in immigration policies in 2025.
Securing the skills and experience NZ needs
The Government has announced significant reforms to the AEWV scheme in 2025. Changes include removing median wage thresholds, reducing work experience requirements, and streamlining the Job Check process.
We have to better plan our immigration settings for the future
We need immigration policies that are much better at future-proofing New Zealand’s actual skill needs.
Open work rights return for partners of high skilled migrants
The Government is making changes to provide open work rights to more partners of migrant workers, allowing them to work for any employer in any position in New Zealand.
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.
