Welcome to another edition of Immigration Advisers New Zealand Ltd's newsletter. As Licensed Immigration Advisers, we understand the importance of staying up-to-date on immigration rules, regulations, and changes that may affect your stay in New Zealand. In this newsletter, we cover important topics related to New Zealand immigration.
 
First up, we want to share some recently announced changes to the requirements for residence under the Green List. These changes have opened up more opportunities for residence in certain health care and non-health care roles, as well as the transport sector. We also have good news for accredited employers, as the accreditation period is automatically extended from 12 to 24 months.
 
Are you applying for a partnership-based visa? Many people make mistakes when applying on their own and get their applications declined. That's why we've included a guide to common mistakes to avoid, as well as tips for writing a convincing cover letter.

Recently Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has launched two new online forms to make both transferring a visa to a new passport and expressing interest in applying for the Parent Resident Visa easier. We have included a link to that for your convenience.
 
We also cover other immigration topics, such as New Zealand visa options for family members, going from a Student Visa to a Resident Visa in just five steps, the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) Resident Visa, immigration requirements for overseas workers in the entertainment industry, cost of living and housing options, and more in this newsletter.
 
Lastly, we have included client success stories and highlights of Budget 2023.
 
In conclusion, the important topics surrounding New Zealand immigration provide you with valuable insight that can be used to ensure that all of your applications are made correctly. Our vastly experienced Licensed Immigration Advisers are more than willing to look out for your best interests in this process.
