1. A detailed introduction to New Zealand's special immigration methods
I. Humanitarian relief
Humanitarian aid immigrants, also known as refugee immigrants, refer to those who will suffer from war, violence and mental stress. In their own country, there is nowhere to be placed.
This kind of immigration requires that people are already feasible in New Zealand. And once your application is successful, it means that you can never go back to your motherland. We don't really need it, so let's not talk about it.
Second, the silver fern visa silver fern visa
Although there are only 300 places in the world every year, because its requirements are not very high, once it is obtained, it will have nine months to find a job in New Zealand, and it is an open visa that can work for any employer. Once it finds a job, skilled migration is easy, so friends may wish to pay attention to this visa.
Three. Global influence visa
The Global Impact Visa, announced by the Immigration Bureau but not yet implemented, aims to attract high-skilled talents who do not meet the requirements of business immigration but have the potential of "entrepreneurs". According to the information previously released by the Immigration Bureau, it is expected that a four-year trial operation will begin in the first half of this year (1 year, 100 places).
Such applicants can obtain immigration qualification by starting new business projects, or finding partners to establish new enterprises in New Zealand, or investing in existing enterprises in New Zealand. The specific rules have yet to be officially announced by the New Zealand Immigration Service.
2. Introduction of six ways of New Zealand immigration
First, skilled immigrants.
Skilled immigrants account for about 60% of New Zealand's total immigration quota. According to published data, about 3,000-3,500 China people get New Zealand green cards through skilled immigrants every year. This is a major item with the largest number of immigration quota categories. Its essence is to require the applicant's personal skills to meet the latest social development needs of New Zealand, which is the most common type of immigration and the foundation of the country of immigration. In recent years, with the increase in the number of immigrants, the New Zealand Immigration Bureau has frequently adjusted the skilled immigration policy and improved the hard conditions for skilled immigrants, so as to limit the number of immigrants and improve the quality of immigrants.
Skilled immigrants can be divided into two categories. One is the most common skilled migration (SMC). The second is an immigration model similar to the requirements of skilled migration, which is a transition from scarce special jobs to permanent residence. Usually, applicants need to engage in certain jobs and meet certain conditions within a certain period of time before they can become permanent residents. The silver fern visa introduced before Xinhua Viewpoint, as well as other visa types such as genius immigrant visa, certified employer immigrant visa and long-term scarce immigrant visa, are all designed for this kind of immigrants.
As the name implies, if you want to seek skilled immigrants, you must have at least one skill to be considered as a basic condition. In recent years, western cooking, construction engineering, electronic and electrical engineering, information and media technology, landscape and urban planning, cultural innovation and other fields have been the hot spots of skilled immigrants. For skilled migration applicants, the usual trajectory is language training → application for studying abroad → obtaining a local degree → engaging in relevant technical work → applying for skilled migration, but it does not rule out that elites in specific fields can directly obtain relevant jobs and apply for skilled migration.
Second, family reunion immigrants.
The basic condition of this kind of immigrants is that they should be relatives or spouses related by blood in New Zealand, but it also does not apply to most people. No one happens to have an overseas father or mother. However, this kind of immigration is also a very popular way, because marriage immigration belongs to this category. Among many immigration methods, marriage immigration is indeed the easiest one and the one with the lowest conditions. Applicants have no age limit, no academic qualifications, no English ability or even no gender requirement (New Zealand supports same-sex couples). Simply put, marriage or cohabitation with a person with New Zealand resident (citizen) status meets the basic application conditions.
On the other hand, Xinhua Viewpoint specially reminded that since 20 16 and 10, the Immigration Bureau has closed the application for parents' reunion. Simply put, this means that the way for parents to obtain immigration status by virtue of their children with New Zealand resident (public) status has been put on hold indefinitely; On the other hand, in view of the phenomenon of "business marriage" in the market, the Immigration Bureau also has a set of mature systems and methods to achieve the purpose of eliminating the false and retaining the true. Therefore, some desperate "business marriages" ended up separated.
All of the above shows that the New Zealand government's attitude towards immigration approval is getting stricter and stricter, and it has reached an inhuman level!
Third, entrepreneurial immigrants.
Entrepreneurship migration is also one of the most popular migration channels in recent years. Since 2009, when the New Zealand Immigration Bureau under the ruling of the National Party lowered the threshold for such immigrants, many people moved to New Zealand through entrepreneurial immigration. Entrepreneurial immigrants are characterized by low capital requirements (NZD 200,000/NZD 500,000) and low English proficiency requirements (IELTS 4). Among them, the second-class entrepreneurial immigrants only need NZ $200,000, which is about RMB 1 10,000 ~10.2 million. Generally speaking, as entrepreneurial immigrants, most people buy ready-made businesses, such as small shops, supermarkets or coffee shops in New Zealand, and the scale does not need to be too large. 10 square meters or 20 square meters of small shops are enough (latest tip: currently out of stock).
There are also many people who adapt to entrepreneurial immigration. The basic process is to apply for a 9-month business visa to enter the country and inspect business; When you arrive in New Zealand, find a business. After taking over the business, apply for a two-year self-employed work visa. You can apply for a green card as long as you don't close down for 2 years.
Generally speaking, entrepreneurial migration is more feasible. Entrepreneurial immigration can not only solve the livelihood problem of New Zealand, but also get the green card of New Zealand, killing two birds with one stone. It is relatively difficult for entrepreneurial immigrants to operate on their own, because it involves business plans, business transfer, lawyers and other related links. To be an entrepreneurial immigrant, it is feasible for people to go to New Zealand first.
Fourth, invest in immigration.
The threshold of investment immigration funds is high, but the language requirements are low. Investment immigrants in New Zealand fall into two categories. One is the application threshold of 6,543,800,000 New Zealand dollars (exchange rate of 654.38+0: 5, about 50,000,000 RMB) without English requirements, and the other is the application threshold of 6,543,800,000 New Zealand dollars (IELTS score 3) with English requirements. Compared with entrepreneurial immigrants, investment immigrants do not need to do business in one step, as long as the funds arrive and have a green card. The money can be invested by buying government bonds, stocks, funds and even lottery tickets. Simply put, as long as the money is deposited in a designated place in New Zealand, there is no problem. Before the implementation of the investment immigration reform in 2009, only 23 people in the world successfully obtained green cards within seven years. However, with the relaxation of the policy in 2009, the number of applicants who do not require English dropped from S $20 million to S $6,543,800+million, while those who require English dropped from S $2,500,000 to S $6,543,805, and the number of applicants increased accordingly.
In fact, investment immigrants in developed countries lag far behind most people in China. However, with the rapid economic development in some specific areas of China in recent years, a few privileged classes have accumulated amazing assets and wealth in this process, and immigration has become their standard configuration.
Five, retired pension immigrants
Retirement immigration for the elderly is a new immigration method just launched by the New Zealand Immigration Service last year. Applicants and their spouses can get green cards. The basic requirement is that the applicant is over 66 years old and has no language requirements or background requirements. Basically, it is another form of investment immigration, as long as they have money. The financial threshold for retired elderly immigrants is NZ $750,000, and they also invest in designated areas, such as government bonds, stocks and funds. After the applicant submits the application, the whole family can get a three-month tourist visa and enter the country together. In the meantime, the money needs to be injected into the designated investment field and then get a green card.
Humanitarian assistance of intransitive verbs to immigrants
Humanitarian aid migrants are also called refugee migrants. Refugees refer to those who have good reason to fear that they will be persecuted because of their country, nationality, religious belief, political views and special groups (like sex), so they have fled their country and have not been properly resettled. In addition, people who have been tortured or persecuted, or who may face unnecessary risks and suffer mental torture if they return to their own country, can also apply for refugee protection. In fact, many people in China are qualified for this kind of application, such as "being mentally ill" petitioning, refusing to file a case with the court, demolishing houses for no reason, getting sick due to industrial pollution without compensation, being forced to be ligated and deprived of reproductive rights, being invited to the bureau for "drinking tea" for safeguarding rights, being "beaten" by roadside stalls and so on. To put it simply, as long as you meet people who can't call every day and can't call the ground.
Humanitarian assistance to migrants in need is already feasible in New Zealand.
The basic immigration channels are roughly the above. If the applicant's conditions are relatively limited, it is difficult to apply for a green card directly in China, and it is necessary to enter the country first. As long as people arrive in New Zealand, the road is still relatively wide. As the saying goes, if you open a window, there will be a new world. On the other hand, there is an important factor here. People who come to New Zealand for personal experience can reduce the blindness of immigration, because not everyone is suitable for living overseas, and only when they come will they know whether they like it here.
