IMPACT – MEDIUM
New Zealand has announced plans to ease entry requirements for up to 600 tech specialists and their families.
Key Points:
Additional Information: New Zealand has enforced strict entry rules during the COVID-19 pandemic but has implemented targeted exceptions for foreign nationals filling jobs that are in high demand. A full list of exceptions is available here. Currently, a managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) voucher will need to be secured before travelling to New Zealand and additional requirements met.
BAL Analysis: Authorities are hoping the new exceptions help New Zealand meet current labor market demands. It is possible that New Zealand may push back previously announced dates to allow for entry into New Zealand without mandatory MIQ. BAL will continue to monitor class exception changes and will provide more information as it becomes available.
