Immigration New Zealand (INZ) is in the process of implementing changes to the procedures that must be followed by employers who offer work permits to foreign employees.

Processing of New Zealand visas will no longer be carried out in South Africa as immigration procedures continue to be reassessed.

South Africans contemplating a move will be pleased to know that Immigration New Zealand may soon resume its residency scheme.

Figures released by Statistics New Zealand place South Africans as the third-largest group of migrants to the country for the year ending September 2020.
