Part II Extended Reading: Introduction to New Zealand's Skilled Migration and Entrepreneurial Migration
1. Skilled Migration
Skilled migration occupies about 60% of New Zealand's total immigration quota. According to the public data, there are about 3000-3500 Chinese people who get New Zealand green card through skilled migration every year. Most of the first generation of immigrants, basically belong to the technical migration to New Zealand, after all, most ordinary people do not have the money to do business immigration or investment immigration, and secondly, in foreign countries have no relatives and no friends, so the guarantee of this road can not go, in this case, only through the way of technical immigration to realize the overseas immigrant settlement.
This kind of thinking at least to have a skill to do immigration is exactly what the ordinary people have learned, want to seek technical immigration, as the name suggests, at least to have a skill is considered to have the basic conditions.
2. Entrepreneurial immigration
Entrepreneurial immigration is also very popular in recent years, one of the ways of immigration, since 2009 the National Party under the rule of the New Zealand Immigration Department lowered the threshold of this type of immigration, a lot of people are through the entrepreneurial mode of immigration to New Zealand, entrepreneurial immigration is characterized by capital requirements relative to the requirements of the investment immigrants is lower (200,000 / 500,000 New Zealand dollars), the English language ability to low requirements (IELTS 4 points). The characteristics of entrepreneurship immigration are lower capital requirement ($200,000/$500,000) and English proficiency (IELTS 4 points). Class II entrepreneurial immigrants, only 200,000 New Zealand dollars, that is, about 1 million to 1.2 million yuan, in general, do entrepreneurial immigration, most people are to buy ready-made business, such as plate a New Zealand small stores, small supermarkets or small cafes and so on, the scale does not need to be too large, more than ten square feet or twenty square feet of the store can be (the latest tip: the current lack of innovation in the category of business is no easy to pass the hearing). The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.)
Entrepreneurial migration is also adapted to many people, the basic process is to apply for a 9-month business visa to enter the country, to study the business; to be in New Zealand, to find a business, business take over, apply for a two-year self-employed work visa; as long as the business does not close down in 2 years, apply for a green card.
In general, the feasibility of entrepreneurship immigration is relatively high, entrepreneurship immigration not only solves the problem of livelihood in New Zealand, but also to obtain a green card in New Zealand, two birds with one stone. The entrepreneurial immigration is relatively more difficult to operate completely by oneself, because it involves business plan, business transfer, lawyer related links and so on. To do entrepreneurship immigration, people have to come to New Zealand first before it is feasible.
