New Zealand's immigration policy has undergone some important changes in 2024, with the main aim of attracting highly skilled talent and simplifying the immigration process. Here are some of the key updates:

1. Skilled Migration (SMC) 6-point system: New Zealand Skilled Migration now adopts a new 6-point policy, and applicants need to achieve at least 6 points to apply. Points can be calculated based on work experience, education and income (choose one of three) and years of work in New Zealand. This change removes the previous EOI scoring system and simplifies the application process, with no more age, partner skills, or regional bonuses.

2. Green List: New Zealand has launched a green list, which contains two types of occupation lists, one is the direct residence channel (Straight to Residence Visa), and the other is the channel that can apply for residency after 2 years of work (Work to Residence Visa). Occupations on the green list are considered in-demand occupations, providing a pathway for professionals in these occupations to immigrate quickly.

3. Academic requirements: The New Zealand Immigration Department has updated the LQEA list of the "six-point system" for skilled immigration, including the academic qualifications of China, Australia, Canada, Fiji, Japan and other countries are included, which means that the academic qualifications of applicants from these countries will be directly recognized without further evaluation.

4. Job requirements: Applicants must have a job offer from a recognized employer in New Zealand with a salary of the median salary. For ANZSCO Skill Level 4 or 5 positions, applicants must earn a minimum of 1.5 times the median salary.

5. English language requirements: Applicants need to meet the English language requirements, usually IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. Applicants with a bachelor's degree or above from an English-speaking country may be exempt from the English language requirement.

6. Health and character requirements: Applicants must meet health and character requirements, have no major diseases that significantly affect social public health and safety or require long-term treatment, and have no criminal record.

7. Industry agreement approach: For workers in the nursing industry, transportation industry and other personnel, the government has set up special immigration channels for some people in shortage industries through industry agreements.

8. Other changes: Immigration New Zealand also announced the restart of parental reunification, reducing the income requirement in the application conditions, expanding the scope of joint sponsorship, and increasing the annual visa application quota.

These changes show that the New Zealand government is actively adapting its immigration policies to attract and retain highly skilled talent, while also working to streamline the immigration process and improve the efficiency of the process.
