New Zealand has announced new immigration rules that won't let some foreign workers sponsor their dependents for work, visitor, or student visas. These regulations aim to streamline visa processes while ensuring that visa sponsors meet specific criteria aligned with New Zealand's economic and immigration priorities. Starting June 26, changes to visa regulations in New Zealand mean that individuals holding an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV) at ANZSCO levels 4 and 5, without a pathway to residency, can no longer sponsor their partners and dependent children for work, visitor, or student visas. This adjustment aligns with broader revisions to the AEWV scheme earlier this year, returning conditions to those similar to the previous Essential Skills Work Visa. However, partners and dependent children can still apply for their own visas, such as the Accredited Employer Work Visa or international student visas, provided they meet the respective criteria.
