关于新西兰工签政策变化，本号已经在5月份做过初步解析【移民局动向预警】新西兰史上最严厉的工签改革知多少。
今天，移民局亲自实锤了此次工签改革。计划中的大部分改革对雇主的影响要大于对移民工人的影响，而且要到才会实施。那么，将会产生影响的改革有哪些呢？。
一、工签改革时间线
中允许低薪或低技能等级工人担保配偶和孩子的旅游签证；仅以工资作为技能等级的评判标准，按照目前的平均工资中位数标准，时薪高于25纽币的为高技能工作，低于25纽币的为低技能工作。
.10.7取消银蕨签证；认可雇主最低年薪从5.5万纽币增至79,560纽币，且高薪工人不可直接申请永久回头签。
用1个新的临时工作签证代替6个临时工作签证（基本技能工签、认可雇主工签、长期短缺工签将不能申请）；
改进雇主聘用移民工人的流程，雇佣移民工人的雇主需要进行认证。
二、不受影响的工签类型
认可季节性雇主签证(RSE)；
打工假期签证；
毕业后工作签证；
渔船船员工作签证；
宗教工作者工作签证；
特殊目的工作签证；
合作伙伴工作签证，包括工作签证的合作伙伴、新西兰工作签证的合作伙伴和学生工作签证的合作伙伴；
因国际或人道主义理由签发的工作签证，例如外交官、领事和正式工作人员的工作签证，以及难民或索赔保护申请人的工作签证。
三、雇主改革
取消基本技能工签原则性批准；
取消认可雇主计划；
所有雇佣移民工人的雇主都必须被认证；
雇主认证分为三类：标准认证（一年雇佣1-5名移民工人）、高质量认证（一年雇佣6名以上移民工人）、劳务认证；
首次雇主认证有效期为12个月，更新认可有效期为24个月；劳务认证每12个月更新一次；
奥克兰、惠灵顿、基督城、汉密尔顿、但尼丁以外地区的工作无须进行劳动力市场测试；
超过平均工资中位数的工作无需进行劳动力市场测试；
长期短缺清单上的工作无需进行劳动力市场测试；
ANZSCO将被用于评判工资是否与市场水平匹配，以及应聘者的资质是否足够；
雇主认证时间、费用、流程、所需资料、无法预知移民工人人数时该申请哪种类别的认证方式待定。
四、居留签证的影响
认可雇主居留签证将取消；
长期短缺清单居留签证将取消；
1&2项持有新的临时工签申请居留签证需具备两个条件：超过工资中位数200%，以及在新西兰从事高薪工作两年以上。
1&2项可申请基本技能工签。
由此可见，此次工签改革受影响最大的主要是两类工签申请人：认可雇主（又称白名单雇主）和长期短缺清单，即原先的两类WTR申请人。
小编特此强调，此次改革只针对临时工作签证，学生签证和旅游签证，不受影响哦！

01工作签证政策变化
移民部长宣布改变雇主担保移民工人获得临时工作签证的方式。
一、临时工作签证变更公告
从现在到，我们将改革雇主招募移民到新西兰做临时工作的方式。这些改革将分阶段实施，并于全面施行。
二、改革包括
我们将：
1.开发一个新的雇主主导的签证申请流程；
2.引入新的临时工作签证，取代现有的6个工作签证；
3. 用薪酬水平来代替现有的技能等级对工作进行分类——现有的技能等级依赖于薪酬水平和ANZSCO下工作分类的组合；
4.加强对低收入工作的劳动力市场测试，为农村地区和城市清单上的高薪工作提供开放的机会；
5.引入行业协议，为目标行业的移民提供便利；
6.恢复低收入工人的家人持旅游签证来新西兰的权利。
新流程将在未来18个月内设计完成，因此还有很多细节尚未公布。这些信息包括费用、处理时间以及雇主和移民必须提供的支持其申请的证据。
第一轮改革将于10月7日实施，只会影响人才认可雇主。
三、雇主将主导雇佣海外工人的流程
从开始，需要雇佣海外工人的雇主将使用一套三步流程来申请临时工签。
雇主核实——所有雇主，包括已获认可的雇主，均须在新申请程序下获得认可，才能用新工作签证聘请移民工人。
工作核实——这将包括核实工作的报酬是否符合新西兰市场价格，在某些情况下，还将包括劳动力市场测试，以确保新西兰工人无法胜任该工作。
工人核实——当工人申请签证时，他们必须证明他们符合我们的性格标准、身份和健康要求，同时也要证明他们有能力胜任他们被提供的工作。
四、雇主主导流程预期取得的效果
这些改革旨在通过确保:
1.只有在真正出现劳动力短缺时，才会招募移民工人；
2.在雇用移民工人时，意识到到劳动力市场的区域和行业差异；
3. 鼓励雇主雇佣和培训更多的新西兰人。
