2025 新西兰就业市场：准移民的现实审视

新西兰无疑是一个绝佳的国家，然而，若以“轻松赚钱”为主要目的而移居此地寻求工作，则需抱持更为现实的态度。就业市场竞争激烈，且求职过程并非坦途。在您整理行囊之前，务必审慎考量以下关键要素：

英语水平至关重要

计划在新西兰工作，高水平的英语能力是不可或缺的。这不仅仅指日常对话，更关乎您在专业环境中有效沟通、理解复杂指令以及与同事及客户进行顺畅交流的能力。许多职位都要求出色的书面及口头英语水平，而清晰的表达能力将是您求职成功的重要因素。

认可的学历与经验

对于诸多专业性职位，新西兰雇主通常青睐于英语国家认可的学历及经证实的专业工作经验。您的学历很可能需要经过评估，以确保其符合新西兰的标准。若缺乏相关且受认可的学历及扎实的过往记录，在专业领域内寻求工作将极具挑战。

竞争激烈的就业能力

这或许是您需要自问的最核心问题：您在新西兰的就业竞争力如何？ 当前，新西兰有逾15.5万本土居民失业，本地就业市场已然竞争激烈。作为一名外国人，您将直接与这些拥有本地人脉、熟悉商业文化且无签证限制的求职者竞争。通常而言，如果本地人才具备相近的技能，雇主会优先考虑他们。因此，您需要充分展现自身优势，提供本地市场急需且稀缺的技能或经验，以证明您是最佳人选。

理解西方文化与法律

移居新国家不仅限于寻找一份工作。您需要考虑自身对西方文化及西方法律体系的理解程度。新西兰的职场规范、社会习俗和法律框架可能与您所习惯的截然不同。能否适应并融入当地环境对于您的职业成功和个人福祉都至关重要。若对此缺乏了解，可能导致误解和困难。

简而言之，尽管新西兰提供诸多机遇，但这些机遇并非唾手可得。在将求职作为主要目标开启移民之旅前，务必对自身的英语技能、学历、工作经验、在竞争市场中的就业能力以及文化理解进行现实的评估。

新西兰投资移民：告别“谣言陷阱”，2025年最新政策解读！

近年来，关于新西兰投资移民的传闻五花八门，甚至有不法分子利用虚假信息进行诈骗。特别是那些声称“500万纽币轻松拿绿卡，无需英语、学历、商业计划”的说法，纯属无稽之谈，是为了欺骗申请人。

2025年，新西兰的投资移民政策已进行调整，旨在吸引能够为新西兰经济带来实际贡献的“积极投资者”。以下是新西兰投资移民（Active Investor Plus Visa，积极投资者签证）的正确途径和具体要求：

投资金额及类别

新西兰投资移民的最低投资额并非单一的500万纽币，而是根据不同的投资类别，采取“加权计算”的方式，最低可达500万纽币。新政策鼓励申请人进行“增长型投资”，为新西兰经济带来实质性贡献。

主要投资类别及加权比例如下：

直接投资 (Direct Investment)：权重为3倍。这意味着您如果投资500万纽币到新西兰贸易发展局（NZTE）认可的直接投资项目，即可满足1500万纽币的加权投资要求。这类投资通常指通过私募形式投资到新西兰上市公司股权（非股市购入），或投资到NZTE批准的其他新西兰公司股权或可转换股金融产品。
专项投资基金 (Managed Funds)：权重为2倍。投资750万纽币到经NZTE批准的专项投资基金，可满足1500万纽币的加权投资要求。这类基金有严格定义和标准，例如不能将资金投入到国债和企业债。
上市公司股票和慈善投资 (Listed Shares and Philanthropic Investment)：权重为1倍。投资1500万纽币到新西兰上市公司的股票或慈善事业，才能满足1500万纽币的加权投资要求。上市公司股票和慈善投资各自的投资上限为750万纽币。

重要提示：

投资款必须来源于合法渠道，并需通过银行体系转入新西兰，且在主申请人名下。
申请获原则批准后，需在6个月内将投资款转入新西兰并完成部分投资（特殊情况可申请延期至12个月）。
投资期为四年，可以分期投入资金，最迟在三年内完成全部投资。

英语语言要求

对于2025年4月1日起实施的积极投资者签证（Active Investor Plus Visa），新西兰移民局已取消了英语语言要求。这意味着申请人不再需要提供雅思、托福或PTE等考试成绩。这一重大调整旨在吸引更多非英语国家的投资者。

教育背景要求

新西兰投资移民的政策中，没有明确的最低教育背景要求。申请人的重点在于其投资能力和资金的合法来源。

商业经验要求

新西兰投资移民的政策中，没有明确的最低商业经验要求。与旧政策下的某些类别不同，新政策下，任何职业的人都可以申请投资移民，不要求申请人拥有经商经验。

总结

新西兰的投资移民政策已经进行了改革，旨在吸引对新西兰经济有实际贡献的“积极投资者”。虽然取消了英语和商业经验的要求，降低了部分门槛，但对于投资金额和投资方向的规定更加明确和细化。对于那些声称“500万纽币就能随便拿绿卡”的说法，请务必保持警惕，以免落入诈骗陷阱。

如果您对新西兰投资移民感兴趣，强烈建议咨询专业的新西兰移民顾问或律师，以获取最准确和最新的信息，并制定符合您个人情况的移民方案。

新西兰永居：远超七万人民币的迷思——2025年中国移民的现实检验

新西兰永居：远超七万人民币的迷思——2025年中国移民的现实检验

以为只需花费大约7万人民币，无需英语能力、认可学历或丰富经验就能轻松“购买”新西兰永久居留权，这是一个极其危险的误解。这种想法在2025年及以后都绝非现实或真实的。新西兰的移民政策旨在吸引能够为经济和社会做出贡献的技能移民，而不是通过金钱交易来获取居留权。

以下是现实情况的详细说明：

英语语言能力

大多数途径的必要条件： 对于大多数技能和居民签证类别，证明英语语言能力是强制性要求。这通常需要提供认可的英语语言考试成绩，例如雅思。对于技能移民类别居民签证，主申请人通常需要雅思总分至少6.5分。配偶和受抚养子女可能接受较低的分数。
豁免情况罕见： 尽管在某些非常特殊的情况下（例如在英语国家接受过大量教育）可能获得豁免，但这些是例外情况，并非普遍现象。仅仅不具备英语能力是一个巨大的障碍。
主动投资者加分签证的例外（但有附加条件）： 虽然主动投资者加分签证（需要大量投资）取消了英语语言要求，但此途径是为高净值人士设计的，而非寻求低成本入境的申请人。

认可的学历和资历

国际学历评估（IQA）： 对于大多数需要学历的签证申请，您需要从新西兰学历认证局（NZQA）获得国际学历评估（IQA）。此评估用于确定您的国际学历是否等同于新西兰的学历。
技能移民类别： 要符合技能移民类别的资格，您的学历是累积所需“技能居民积分”的关键因素。通常要求学士或更高学历，并且可能需要经过NZQA评估。
绿名单职业： 如果您申请绿名单途径（针对紧缺职业），这些职位通常有特定的学历要求，并且也需要获得认可。

工作经验

技能移民的关键： 相关的技能工作经验是大多数居留途径的基础组成部分，特别是技能移民类别和工作转居留签证。
认可雇主工作签证（AEWV）： 许多移民最初通过AEWV来到新西兰，这需要获得认可雇主的工作机会。在此签证下获得的技能工作经验可以用于申请居民签证的积分。2025年，某些职位的工作经验要求已减少到两年。
具体职位要求： 所需工作经验的类型和持续时间因签证类别和具体职业而异。例如，绿名单二级职业的工作转居留签证需要在新西兰从事该职位24个月的工作经验。

七万人民币的迷思：其可能来源及为何是谬论

7万人民币“购买”居留权的说法很可能是一个危险的误解，或是诈骗手段的体现。以下是其不实之处：

无直接购买居留权： 新西兰没有通过固定低价金额直接授予永久居留权的“投资入籍”或“投资居留”计划。尽管存在针对大额投资者的主动投资者加分签证（2025年4月1日起，需要500万或1000万新西兰元投资），但这与7万人民币（按当前汇率约合15500新西兰元）完全不是一个概念。
签证费与移民成本： 尽管存在签证申请费（对于一些复杂的申请或一个家庭可能在7万人民币左右），但这些是行政费用，而非居留权的“价格”。它们不能免除任何技能、语言或经验的基本要求。
诈骗和虚假陈述： 不幸的是，针对有希望的移民，特别是来自中国的移民，存在大量移民诈骗。这些诈骗通常承诺通过支付费用轻松获得居留权，利用对真实移民流程的缺乏了解。最近的报告强调，中国移民工人成为就业诈骗的受害者，支付了大量款项购买不存在的工作和签证，这往往是由无执照或失职的移民顾问促成的。

2025年新西兰移民的现实

2025年，新西兰的移民系统重点是吸引以下个人：

拥有紧缺技能： 通过技能移民类别和绿名单等途径，新西兰优先考虑能够填补关键劳动力短缺的移民。
符合具体标准： 每个签证类别都有关于年龄、健康、品格、英语语言能力、学历和工作经验的详细要求。
真正致力于新西兰： 新西兰移民局会寻找证据证明申请人有永久在新西兰生活和做出贡献的意愿。

结论

仅凭7万人民币在2025年是不可能获得新西兰永久居留权的。这种观念完全不切实际，很可能是基于错误信息或欺诈性承诺。获得新西兰居留权的真正途径需要符合英语语言能力、认可学历、相关工作经验以及通常是技能工作机会等方面的具体标准。潜在移民应始终依赖新西兰移民局的官方信息，并对任何看似好得令人难以置信的报价保持高度警惕，因为它们很可能是诈骗。

The RMB 70,000 Myth: Where it Might Stem From and Why it's False

28th May, 2025

The idea that New Zealand permanent residency can be easily "bought" with a relatively small sum like RMB 70,000, without the need for English proficiency, recognized degrees, or significant experience, is a dangerous misconception. This notion is far from realistic or true for 2025 and beyond. New Zealand's immigration policies are designed to attract skilled migrants who can contribute to its economy and society, not to be a transactional purchase.

Here's a breakdown of the realities:

English Language Proficiency

Essential for most pathways: For most skilled and resident visa categories, demonstrating English language proficiency is a mandatory requirement. This typically involves providing results from an approved English language test like IELTS. For the Skilled Migrant Category Resident Visa, a minimum overall IELTS score of 6.5 is generally required for the primary applicant. Lower scores may be accepted for partners and dependent children.
Waivers are rare: While some very specific circumstances might allow for waivers (e.g., extensive education in an English-speaking country), these are exceptions and not the norm. Simply not having English skills is a significant barrier.
Active Investor Plus Visa exception (with caveats): While the Active Investor Plus Visa (which requires a substantial investment) has removed English language requirements, this pathway is designed for high-net-worth individuals, not for those looking for a low-cost entry.

Recognized Degrees and Qualifications

International Qualification Assessment (IQA): For most visa applications that require a qualification, you will need to get an International Qualification Assessment (IQA) from the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). This assessment determines if your international qualification is equivalent to a New Zealand one.
Skilled Migrant Category: To be eligible for the Skilled Migrant Category, your qualifications are a key factor in accumulating the required "skilled resident points." A bachelor's qualification or higher is often expected, and it may need to be assessed by NZQA.
Green List Occupations: If you're applying under a Green List pathway (for in-demand jobs), specific qualifications are usually required for those roles, and these also need to be recognized.

Work Experience

Crucial for skilled migration: Relevant skilled work experience is a fundamental component for most residence pathways, particularly the Skilled Migrant Category and Work to Residence visas.
Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV): Many migrants initially come to New Zealand on an AEWV, which requires a job offer from an accredited employer. The skilled work experience gained on this visa can then be used to claim points for a resident visa. The work experience requirement for certain roles has been reduced to two years in 2025.
Specific job requirements: The type and duration of work experience needed vary depending on the visa category and the specific occupation. For example, the Work to Residence Visa for Green List Tier 2 jobs requires 24 months of work experience in that role in New Zealand.

The RMB 70,000 Myth: Where it Might Stem From and Why it's False

The idea of "buying" residency for RMB 70,000 is likely a dangerous misinterpretation or a reflection of scam tactics. Here's why it's false:
No direct purchase of residency: New Zealand does not have a "citizenship by investment" or "residency by investment" program where a fixed, low sum of money directly grants permanent residency. The Active Investor Plus Visa exists for significant investors (NZ$5 million or NZ$10 million, effective April 1, 2025), but this is a completely different league from RMB 70,000 (which is approximately NZD 15,500 at current exchange rates).
Visa fees vs. immigration costs: While visa application fees exist (and might be in the range of RMB 70,000 for some complex applications or for a family group over time), these are administrative costs and not the "price" of residency. They do not waive any of the fundamental requirements for skills, language, or experience.
Scams and misrepresentation: Unfortunately, there are numerous immigration scams targeting hopeful migrants, particularly from China. These scams often promise easy residency for a fee, exploiting a lack of understanding of genuine immigration processes. Recent reports highlight cases where Chinese migrant workers were victims of job scams, paying significant sums for non-existent jobs and visas, often facilitated by unlicensed or negligent immigration advisers.

Reality of New Zealand Immigration in 2025

New Zealand's immigration system in 2025 is focused on attracting individuals who:
Have skills in demand: Through pathways like the Skilled Migrant Category and the Green List, New Zealand prioritizes migrants who can fill critical labor shortages.
Meet specific criteria: Each visa category has detailed requirements regarding age, health, character, English language proficiency, qualifications, and work experience.
Are genuinely committed to New Zealand: Immigration New Zealand looks for evidence of a commitment to live and contribute to New Zealand permanently.

Conclusion

Spending RMB 70,000 alone will not grant you New Zealand permanent residency in 2025. The notion is entirely unrealistic and likely based on misinformation or fraudulent promises. Genuine pathways to New Zealand residency require meeting specific criteria related to English language proficiency, recognized qualifications, relevant work experience, and often, a skilled job offer. Potential migrants should always rely on official information from Immigration New Zealand and be extremely cautious of any offers that seem too good to be true, as they are very likely scams.

New Zealand Job Market: A Dose of Reality for Aspiring Migrants

New Zealand Job Market: A Dose of Reality for Aspiring Migrants

New Zealand is a fantastic country, but migrating here for work, especially just to "earn money easily," requires a realistic outlook. It's not a simple process, and the job market is competitive. Before you pack your bags, consider these key points:

English Proficiency is Paramount

If you're planning to work in New Zealand, a high degree of English proficiency is essential. This isn't just about basic conversation; it's about being able to communicate effectively in a professional setting, understand complex instructions, and engage with colleagues and clients. Many roles require excellent written and spoken English, and your ability to articulate yourself clearly will be a significant factor in your job search.

Recognized Qualifications and Experience

For many professional roles, New Zealand employers look for degrees recognized from English-speaking countriesand proven professional work experience. Your qualifications will likely need to be assessed to ensure they meet New Zealand standards. Without relevant, recognized qualifications and a solid track record, finding work in skilled professions can be very challenging.

Employability in a Competitive Market

This is perhaps the biggest question you need to ask yourself: How employable are you in New Zealand? With over 155,000 New Zealanders currently jobless, the local job market is already competitive. As a foreigner, you'll be competing directly with these individuals who have local networks, an understanding of the business culture, and no visa restrictions. Employers will generally prioritize local talent if they have comparable skills. You need to demonstrate why you are the best candidate, offering skills or experience that are in high demand and short supply locally.

Understanding Western Culture and Law

Moving to a new country involves more than just finding a job. You need to consider your understanding of Western culture and the Western rule of law. New Zealand has specific workplace norms, social customs, and legal frameworks that may differ significantly from what you're used to. Being able to adapt and integrate into this environment is crucial for both your professional success and personal well-being. A lack of understanding in these areas can lead to misunderstandings and difficulties.

In short, while New Zealand offers opportunities, they are not handed out easily. A realistic assessment of your English skills, qualifications, work experience, employability in a competitive market, and cultural understanding is vital before embarking on a migration journey with job-seeking as your primary goal.
