10月12日新西兰移民部消息，新西兰技术移民类别将在当前设置下重新放，同时开始就拟议的无上限简化积分系统进行咨询。
父母类别将重新开放，从11月中旬恢复意向书选择
政府宣布了我们计划中的下一步措施，以重新连接新西兰人与世界并填补劳动力短缺，恢复选择两种居留签证类别的签证，这将有助于新西兰企业在全球工人短缺期间吸引人才。
移民部长迈克尔伍德今天在奥克兰向商业和移民社区领导人发表讲话时宣布了这些变化。
迈克尔伍德说:”随着世界从COVID-19中恢复过来，劳动力短缺仍然是一个全球症状。
我们正在密切关注企业的担忧，其中许多企业已获准雇用移民，但发现在有限的劳动力市场上很难进行国际招聘。今天的变化与已经做出的移民变化相辅相成，将有助于进一步缓解劳动力短缺，并确保吸引人才到新西兰的竞争优势。
我们正在当前设置下恢复技术移民类别，以帮助吸引更多工人。第一个选择将在160分，随后的选择将在180分的阈值增加，以更好地与类别的未来方向和我们的再平衡目标保持一致。
自认可雇主工作签证开放以来，超过12，000名国际移民在新西兰各地申请了511种不同的职业。技术移民类别为新西兰永久保留大多数这些急需的技能提供了一条途径，增强了我们国家对经济的抵御能力。未来的冲击和经济安全。
正确设置该类别的长期设置对于新西兰未来的经济安全非常重要，并确保我们能够吸引和留住高技能人才。在恢复选择的同时，我们正在开始就拟议的新系统进行咨询，该系统将在未来证明该类别，并将进一步补充新的绿色名单和高薪居住途径。
以前的系统限制了通过规划范围处理的申请数量，这意味着2019年只有40%的SMC申请得到处理。
我们提议的更改包括取消计划范围，以便处理所有符合标准的申请。它还将包括一个更简化的积分系统，将设定一个明确，公平和透明的资格门槛，并为人们提供多种展示其技能水平的方法。
拟议的变化还将为非常高技能的移民提供更快的居住途径，例如大学讲师或拥有博士学位的科学家，而其他专业人士，如教师和注册商人，如果他们在新西兰工作一段时间，将有一条明确的路线。新系统将缩短处理时间，如果他们达到技能门槛，每年可以获得居留权的人数将没有上限。
政府还履行了2020年选举承诺，以减少获得父母类别签证的障碍，包括每年增加授予的父母居民签证的数量并降低收入门槛。
我们认识到移民在这里重新安置的重要性，以便为他们的父母提供一条加入他们的途径”迈克尔伍德说。
“重新开始母公司类别是正确的做法，新西兰将成为希望长期重新安置的高技能移民更具吸引力的目的地。知道他们可以与家人一起这样做。
除了重新开放和现代化该类别外，它还意味着更多的家庭团聚。
该类别将看到支持者的收入门槛降低，新的投票，以及从11月14日开始从现有队列中选择意向书的恢复，以及其他变化。
每年授予的父母居民签证的数量也将增加到每年2500个。
从现有的意向书队列中恢复选择是一个优先事项，我知道这对许多移民家庭有多重要。 我很高兴地说，选择将于11月14日恢复，每年将向有意向书的人发放多达2，000份签证。
作为父母类别现代化的一部分，从今天开始，提交的任何新意向都将进入投票，而不是添加到现有队列中。
转向投票意味着人们将避免冗长的队列，他们将有资格在提交意向书后的两年内被选中。
每年将额外获得500个签证，从2023年8月的第一次选择开始。
通过我们的重新连接计划和对移民环境的改变，我们有一个长期适用于新西兰的系统。我们建立了一个响应国际因素的移民制度，同时让新西兰人相信，我们管理移民的方式背后有一个计划和强有力的原则。
我们知道目前对许多企业来说都很艰难，但有一些积极的迹象。我们看到对工作假期计划的需求强劲，自3月以来，已批准超过30，437份申请，预计未来几个月入境人数将有所上升。
我们认识到移民制度在我们国家经济未来中的重要作用。我们致力于与企业合作，以确保我们取得适当的平衡”迈克尔伍德说。

12 October， Key visa categories reopened to support business attract top talent
· Skilled Migrant Category to re-open under current settings while consultation begins on proposed uncapped, simplified points system
· Parent category to reopen with expression of interest selections resuming from mid-November
The Government has announced the next steps in our plan to reconnect New Zealanders to the world and fill workforce shortages, with the resuming of selections for two residence visa categories visas that will help Kiwi businesses attract talent during the global worker shortage.
Immigration Minister Michael Wood announced the changes at a speech today to business and migrant community leaders in Auckland.
As the world recovers from COVID-19, labour shortages continue to be a global sympto.
We are listening closely to the concerns of businesses, many of whom have approval to hire migrants but are finding it difficult to recruit internationally in a constrained labour market. Today’s changes work in tandem with the immigration changes already made and will help further relieve labour shortages, and ensure an competitive edge to attract talent to New Zealand.
We are resuming the Skilled Migrant Category under the current settings to help attract more workers. The first selection will be at 160 points, and subsequent selections at an increased threshold of 180 points, to better align with the future direction of the category and our rebalance goals.
Over 12,000 international migrants have applied for 511 different occupations across New Zealand since the Accredited Employer Work Visa opened. The Skilled Migrant Category provides a pathway for retaining the majority of these much needed skills in New Zealand permanently, strengthening our nation’s resilience to global shocks and economic security into the future.
Getting the long term settings of the category right is important for New Zealand’s future economic security, and ensuring that we can attract and retain high skilled talent. At the same time as resuming selections, we are commencing consultation on a proposed new system that will future proof the category and will further complement the new Green List and Highly Paid residence pathways.
The previous system restricted the number applications which were progressed through a planning range, this meant that only 40% of SMC applications were processed in 2019.
Our proposed changes, include removing the planning range, so that all applications that meet the criteria will be processed. It will also include a more simplified points system, will set a clear, fair and transparent eligibility threshold and offer several ways for people to demonstrate their skill level.
The proposed changes will also see a faster route to residence for very highly skilled migrants, such as university lecturers or scientists who hold a PhD, while other professionals such as teachers and registered tradespeople will have a clear route if they work for a period in New Zealand. The new system will improve processing times and there will be no cap on the number of people who can gain residence each year, if they meet the skills threshold,” Michael Wood said.
The Government is also delivering on a 2020 election promise to reduce barriers to access the Parent Category Visa, including increasing the number of parent resident visas granted each year and reducing the income thresholds.
We recognise the importance for migrants resettling here to have a pathway for their parents to join them,” said Michael Wood.
“Re-starting the parent category is the right thing to do, and will see New Zealand become an even more attractive destination for high skilled migrants looking to resettle long term, knowing they can do so with their families.
“Alongside reopening and modernising the category it means more family reunifications,” Michael Wood said.
“The category will see a lower income threshold for sponsors, a new ballot, and the resumption of selecting expressions of interest from the existing queue starting 14 November, among other changes.
The number of Parent Resident Visas granted each year will also increase to 2,500 a year,” Michael Wood said.
Resuming selections from existing Expressions of Interest queue is a priority, and I know how important this is to many migrant families. I’m pleased to say selections will resume on 14 November, and up to 2,000 visas a year will be granted to people with existing expressions of interest.
As part of modernising the Parent Category, from today, any new expressions of interest submitted will go into a ballot rather than add to the existing queue.
Moving to a ballot means people will avoid a lengthy queue and they will be eligible for selection for two years after submitting their expression of interest.
An additional 500 visas a year will be granted from the ballot, starting with the first selection in August 2023.
Through our reconnection plan and changes to immigration settings we have a system that works for New Zealand long-term. We have created an immigration system which is responsive to international factors, while giving New Zealanders confidence that there is a plan and robust principles underlying how we manage immigration.
We know it is tough for many businesses at the moment, but there are positive signs. We are seeing a strong demand for the Working Holiday Scheme, with more than 30,437 applications approved since March, with arrivals expected to pick up in the coming months.
We recognise the important role the immigration system plays in our nation’s economic future. We are committed to working with businesses to ensure we are striking the right balance”, Michael Wood said.

· Skilled Migrant Category reopening
· Parent Category
Proposed future Skilled Migrant Category points system:
· The proposed new system will require applicants to have at least 6 points. This can be made up of 3 to 6 points based on their NZ professional registration qualification or income. People who meet the minimum skill threshold can also claim 1 point per year worked in New Zealand in a skilled job, up to a maximum of 3 points.
· All migrants will have to have a job, or a job offer in New Zealand, and be paid at least the median wage for ANZSCO 1-3 occupations or at least 1.5 times the median wage for ANZSCO 4-5 occupations
· This is now open for formal consultation on the MBIE website.
Interim reopening:
· The first selection will be based on the status quo of 160 points, so those who have already submitted an expression of interest, or those who have made plans to come to New Zealand based on the current system, have an opportunity to apply at the current level.
· The first selection will take place on 9 November. People with existing applications will be advised about how to update their existing expressions of interest, or to withdraw and request a refund.
· Subsequent selections will be at an increased threshold 180 points. The first at this threshold will be on 18 January 2023. Any expressions of interest submitted after 9 November will need to meet 180 points.
Changes to the Parent Category
The changes are:
· Increasing the number of Parent Resident Visas granted each year from 1,000 a year to 2,500.
· Lowering the income threshold for sponsors to 1.5 times the median wage for one sponsor supporting one parent, and 2 times the median wage for joint sponsors.
· For someone sponsoring more than one parent, the income threshold will increase by 0.5 times the median wage for each additional parent sponsored, up to 6 parents.
· Expanding joint sponsorship arrangements to allow two adult children (siblings) to combine their income to meet the relevant threshold, rather than only with their partner (a maximum of two people sponsoring still applies).
· Re-starting the expressions of interest (EOI) selections from 14 November for people who already have EOIs in the queue. Selections will be made in chronological order.
· Introducing a ballot for new expressions of interest (EOI) selections, starting on 12 October 2022, with the first selection in August 2023. After that, selections are planned to take place every three months (August, November, February and May).
