New Zealand's work permit policy is subject to change, and from 26 June 2024, people who hold an AEWV Approved Employer Sponsored Work Permit and are at ANZSCO Levels 4 and 5 and have no immigration route will no longer be able to support their partner and dependent children in applying for a work, visit or student visa.
The latest work permit policy changes
幸运的我
As soon as this policy came out, it dealt a heavy blow to many people who did not have strong skills and wanted to work in New Zealand. I also felt a chill in my heart, my husband's and children's visas just came out last week, and such a change was introduced this week, which is clearly for low-skilled work visas like mine.
Luckily, I was able to navigate the cracks of policy changes every time, and the first time to apply was during the few months when the length of my work visa was changed from 3 years to 5 years, and after my 5-year work permit was signed, it was not long before it was changed from 5 years back to 3 years. My husband's and children's visas are even more so, and the days change a week after the visa is issued. My friend who helped me apply for a visa said that I was really a lucky person chosen by God.

There are fewer ways to move to New Zealand as a family, and if you have strong skills on the green list, it's the quickest and most convenient, but not for most people. Now the most reliable way is to study for a master's degree, one person to study for a master's degree, 1.5-2 years, the spouse can get an open work visa, and the child can enroll in public schools for free.
But, Australia is now over 35 years old to study for a master's degree, no longer issued family visas, New Zealand will follow the pace of the "big guy", is also unknown, so friends who want to come can only speed up.
Not long after I came to New Zealand, a friend and a reader contacted me and said that my child could not stand the high-pressure learning environment in China and wanted to follow me to New Zealand to change the learning and living environment for my child. But their situation is not as good as mine, English and skills are not strong, and finally chose to accompany the study, today just signed a visa, just in time for the start of the third semester in July, very happy, they can finally come to New Zealand to "start over"!
Of course, it can be said that it is one of the "most expensive methods" among the many ways to come to New Zealand, and not every family can afford it, but as a companion mother, they can at least legally work in New Zealand. Accompanying them is just a way, they can learn more, they can work, they can also do a small business, they can also read a skill, or invest, etc., slowly find a path that suits them, and finally achieve immigration to New Zealand.
新西兰到底值不值得来
Whether it is China, the United States, Europe, Southeast Asia or Oceania, each country and region has its own advantages and disadvantages, as for whether it is worth it, it depends on what you need?
There is a high-quality and fair education system, but there are no huge job opportunities; There is a well-developed medical system, but there is no hospital that can see a doctor immediately; There is a one-size-fits-all equal pension, but the retirement age is 65; Every family here lives in a villa, but there are no neighbors who are close to each other; Everyone here has a car, but there is no online shopping......
Do you like this kind of New Village?
If you like lonely beauty, equal and plain days, a life without contention, and the company of sheep, then New Zealand has you covered.
