Immigration New Zealand is launching a new policy called the "Silver Fern Visa" to attract highly skilled young people from around the world to work in New Zealand.
Immigration New Zealand states that applicants who successfully obtain the "Silver Fern Visa" will be granted a nine-month legal residency period to seek employment. Once an applicant secures a job, they may apply for a two-year work visa, which may enable them to apply for New Zealand residency under the Skilled Migrant Category. In the initial phase, this visa is limited to individuals aged between 20 and 35, with a quota of only 300 places.
In recent years, various immigration countries have adjusted their policies accordingly, with many tightening immigration quotas or raising requirements. However, New Zealand has consistently maintained stable immigration policies and is recognized as one of the most peaceful countries in the world. The introduction of the "Silver Fern Visa" policy demonstrates the New Zealand government's strong demand for talent.
