INZ update:

The new median wage of NZD $29.66 an hour will be adopted into the immigration system on 27 February 2023.

This will have an effect on various visa categories, including the Accredited Employer Visa (AEWV), occupations covered by sector agreements, and residence visa categories, such as the Green List and Highly Paid pathways, the Skilled Migrant Category, and the Parent Category.

Keep in mind that some roles are exempt from the AEWV median wage threshold, as some sectors have temporary agreements or exemptions that allow them to pay workers below the median wage in sectors such as the care workforce, construction and infrastructure, meat processing, seafood, and seasonal snow and adventure tourism sectors.

If you have any questions or need assistance with your visa application, please contact us.

Obesity may affect your New Zealand visa application.

ā€¢ Immigration New Zealand (INZ) needs to ensure that people accepted into New Zealand, for longer than 12 months, have an acceptable standard of health.
ā€¢ Further investigations about applicantsā€™ health are usually triggered when they have a high Body Mass Index (BMI) (e.g. a level of over 35) and/or have other associated obesity-related conditions.
ā€¢ It would be unusual for obesity, as a condition on its own, to cause an applicant to fail health screening requirements but applicants with a BMI of over 35 can expect INZ to make further inquiries about their standard of health.

If you are concerned about meeting health requirements, or if INZ raises any potential concerns, we will be happy to assist.
