New Zealand is on a rapid expansion path and its economy is growing steadily thus, giving rise to many new opportunities for citizens as well as immigrants. The immediate need for skilled workers cannot be filled completely by the citizens and residents by themselves, and therefore there is an urgent need for new immigrants who have the necessary skills to enter the country.

The country needs to change its policies to attract more immigrants and bridge the labor gap in the economy. Know the Immigration process. New Zealand can take advantage of immigrants who are moving away from the United Kingdom and United States on account of immigration restrictions that are being imposed by these countries.

A new policy is expected to provide fast track visa processing for immigrants who are having high levels of skills and to encourage immigrants to migrate to regions in New Zealand which are struggling with reduced population levels and skill set shortage.

New Zealand Revises Skilled Immigration Criteria

The official authority for immigrants, Immigration New Zealand, has announced a decision to increase the threshold of income for both semi-skilled and skilled immigrants slightly to qualify for applying for renewal of their three year visa.

According to the proposed changes, semi-skilled migrants who are being paid 19.97 USD on an hourly basis will now need to be paid a minimum wage of 20.65 USD to be able to apply for renewal of visa.

Those immigrants to New Zealand, who are currently being paid 35.24 USD per hour fall under the skilled category, will need their pay to rise by at least 36.44 USD to be able to apply for.
