New Zealand announced changes to its employment visa program on Sunday due to a high number of migrants last year, which the government called "unsustainable." The changes include adding English language requirements for low-skilled jobs and setting minimum skill and work experience levels for most employer work visas. The maximum stay for most low-skilled roles will be reduced from five years to three years.
Immigration Minister Erica Stanford said the government aims to attract and retain highly skilled migrants while prioritizing New Zealanders for jobs without skill shortages. Last year, nearly 173,000 people migrated to New Zealand, a near-record number.
With a population of about 5.1 million, New Zealand has seen rapid growth in migrant numbers since the end of the pandemic, raising concerns about inflation. Australia, its neighbor, has also experienced a significant increase in migrants and plans to halve its migrant intake over the next two years.
